Gulliver's Travels (Case Studies in Contemporary Criticism)
While millions face hunger, malnutrition, and starvation, the world’s population is increasing by over 225,000 people per day, 80 million per year.
In many countries, supplies of food and water are inadequate to support the population, so the world falls deeper and deeper into what economists call the “Malthusian trap,†named for the writer whose work, more than any other, brought attention to the population dilemma. Philip Appleman’s comprehensive introduction to Thomas Robert Malthus’ seminal 1798 work traces the evolution of Malthus’ idea and its validity through following generations.Country | USA |
