Focusing on the tension between population growth and resource availability, Malthus presents a compelling argument that unchecked population increase will lead to inevitable societal collapse. He posits that while population grows exponentially, resources only increase linearly, creating a critical imbalance. Malthus controversially suggests that improving living conditions may worsen the situation by encouraging higher birth rates. His influential ideas continue to spark debate across various disciplines, including economics and environmental science, highlighting their lasting relevance.
