Den prækeynesianske Malthus

Abstract: Fra den økonomiske teorihistorie er Thomas Malthus kendt, berømt og måske også berygtet for sin pessimistiske befolkningslære. Udover med dette teori-element at levere argumentationen hos de klassiske økonomer for, at arbejds-kraften i normale situationer nødvendigvis må blive aflønnet på et eksistensmi-nimum, indeholder hans forfatterskab dog også elementer, der med nutidige øj-ne ser helt moderne ud. I nærværende papir belyses det potentielle prækeyne-sianske element hos Malthus. Således synes det sandsynligt, at han ikke alene anerkendte, at økonomien kunne være i en generel uligevægtssituation, måske forudså han også opsparingsparadokset, ligesom han tilsyneladende gav argu-menter, der kunne støtte en konjunkturstimulerende offentlig investeringspolitik i hvert tilfælde i en helt ekstrem situation, som den, der indtraf i England efter Napoleonskrigenes afslutning.
