He also discusses the factors that can contribute to population growth, including economic development, technological advancements, and changes in social norms.Throughout the book, Alison draws on historical and contemporary examples to illustrate his arguments. He also engages with the work of other scholars, including Thomas Malthus, whose ideas about population growth were widely debated at the time.Overall, The Principles of Population V2: And Their Connection with Human Happiness is a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of a complex topic. It offers insights into the ways in which population growth can affect society and provides a framework for understanding the relationship between population growth and human well-being.In Two Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
