The Rev. Thomas Robert Malthus FRS (13 February 1766 – 29 December 1834) was an English cleric and scholar, influential in the fields of political economy and demography. Malthus himself used only his middle name Robert.
His An Essay on the Principle of Population observed that sooner or later population will be checked by famine and disease, leading to what is known as a Malthusian catastrophe. He wrote in opposition to the popular view in 18th-century Europe that saw society as improving and in principle as perfectible. He thought that the dangers of population growth precluded progress towards a utopian society: "The power of population is indefinitely greater than the power in the earth to produce subsistence for man". As an Anglican cleric, Malthus saw this situation as divinely imposed to teach virtuous behaviour. Malthus wrote:
Malthus placed the longer-term stability of the economy above short-term expediency. He criticized the Poor Laws, and (alone among important contemporary economists) supported the Corn Laws, which introduced a system of taxes on British imports of wheat. His views became influential, and controversial, across economic, political, social and scientific thought. Pioneers of evolutionary biology read him, notably Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace. He remains a much-debated writer.
Khan Academy is a non-profit educational organization created in 2006 by educator Salman Khan with the aim of providing a free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere. The organization produces short lectures in the form of YouTube videos. In addition to micro lectures, the organization's website features practice exercises and tools for educators. All resources are available for free to anyone around the world. The main language of the website is English, but the content is also available in other languages.
The founder of the organization, Salman Khan, was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States to immigrant parents from Bangladesh and India. After earning three degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (a BS in mathematics, a BS in electrical engineering and computer science, and an MEng in electrical engineering and computer science), he pursued an MBA from Harvard Business School.
In late 2004, Khan began tutoring his cousin Nadia who needed help with math using Yahoo!'s Doodle notepad.When other relatives and friends sought similar help, he decided that it would be more practical to distribute the tutorials on YouTube. The videos' popularity and the testimonials of appreciative students prompted Khan to quit his job in finance as a hedge fund analyst at Connective Capital Management in 2009, and focus on the tutorials (then released under the moniker "Khan Academy") full-time.

Thomas Malthus got it totally wrong in the 19th century, but for some reason, he keeps coming up when we talk about population. In 1800, the human population of the Earth passed 1 billion, and Thomas Malthus posited that growth had hit its ceiling, and the population would level off and stop growing. He was totally right. Just kidding, he was totally wrong! There are like 7 billion people on the planet now! John will teach a little about how Malthus made his calculations, and explain how Malthus came up with the wrong answer. As is often the case, it has to do with making projections based on faulty assumptions. Man, people do that a lot. You can directly support Crash Course at https:/...

Réduire Malthus au Mathusianisme, ce n'est pas lui rendre justice. Il est bien plus que cela. Sa grande originalité est son analyse de la demande qui conduira plus tard au keynésianisme.
This short video explores the ideas of Thomas Malthus (1766-1834) and his predictions for the growth of the human population. The video investigates the background of Malthus' ideas, the mathematical basis of it and how it influenced the debate about population growth in the latter half of 20th century. The video concludes with a brief discussion if Malthus' predictions have come true or not in the light of the high food prices in the first decade of the 21st century.
A ten minute guide to the 18th/19th century English classical economist Malthus and his theory of population. Produced for the history and context of journalism course at the University of Winchester, as part of a phase of study about the 19th century.
Capitalism: Success, Crisis and Reform (PLSC 270) Professor Rae shows how countries over the last two centuries have experienced improved life expectancies and increased incomes per capita. Dynamic graphical representation of this trend reveals how improved life expectancies tend to predate increases in wealth. Malthus' "iron law of wages" and diminishing returns are explained. Questions about why the industrial revolution occurred in England at the time that it did are then posed. Professor Rae then shows the importance of the "world demographic transition" to economic history and contemporary economics. All countries tend to follow similar demographic patterns over the course of their economic development. Countries tend to have high birth and death rates in Phase I, falling death rat...
Módelo de Malthus, crecimiento poblacional.
En 1798, salió a la luz un libro titulado Ensayo sobre el principio de la población (An Essay on the Principle of Population) escrito por Thomas Robert Malt hus. Sus ideas sobre las consecuencias de un aumento de la población humana y la necesidad de control levantaron ampollas en una sociedad que pensaba que la riqueza de una nación dependía de su número de habitantes. Hoy, cuando la población humana mundial roza los 6.900 millones de personas, les invitamos a reflexionar escuchando la biografía Thomas Malthus.

Garrett Hardin interview on Malthus, Darwin and Natural Selection. althus observed that population grows at an exponential rate, while environmental use grows at an arithmetic rate. Darwin is misunderstood in the US, but not in Europe. Darwin's theory had two components: evolution and natural selection. Evolution is a historical question - the evidence is historical. You can't settle historical questions with as much certainty. Natural selection is a scientific question that has been proved time after time. Ecologically, everything is connected - but that doesn't mean you like all the connections. "The maximum is seldom, or never, the optimum." "There is no way in a finite environment that you can satisfy a need, the growth of which is uncontrollable." Read more about Garret...

"We have never been in danger of running out of resources," says Dr. Robert Zubrin, "but we have encountered considerable dangers from people who say we are running out of resources and who say that human activities need to be constrained." In his latest book, Merchants of Despair: Radical Environmentalists, Criminal Pseudo-Scientists, and the Fatal Cult of Antihumanism, Zubrin documents the history of dystopian environmentalism, from economic impairment inflicted by current global warming policies to the Malthusian concern over population growth. "Just think how much poorer we would be today if the world would have had half as many people in the 19th century as it actually did. You can get rid of Thomas Edison or Louis Pasteur, take your pick." Zubrin sat down with Reason Magazine Edito...

Come up to my lighthouse for I have something I wish to say
It can wait for a moment; well in fact / it can wait all day
I just wanted to bring you up here so you could have the chance to see
the beauty of this situation that / you could share with me
It may seem strange / to talk of love and then lighthouses
It's not strange / to me
Hey / All alone / you and I in our high tower
That's the way / to be
Some laugh at my lighthouse they say it's just an ivory tower
But I don't mind because I know / their envy grows by the hour
See I have a purpose up here to guide the ships upon their way
All this is mine; it could be yours too / what do you say?
It may seem strange / to talk of love and then lighthouses
It's not strange / to me / Hey / All alone / you and I in our high tower
