Malthusian prediction
Thought provoking article in SciAm on Malthus's prediction.
Some time last year I read a book called Ishmael by Daniel Quinn. I read a few blogs criticising and dismissing the book and called it denigratingly Malthusian. Hidden in the criticism is the mocking attitude towards Malthus's prediction. Guess, we cannot get rid of Malthus' spectre that easily. BTW, I loved the book Ishmael.
