Malthus on causality

John Pullen

The European Journal of the History of Economic Thought, 2016, vol. 23, issue 3, 349-377

Abstract: Allegations of inconsistency and self-contradiction have regularly been levied against Malthus, but some of the allegations might be the result of inadequate appreciation of his use of a distinctive methodology involving a complex structure of causal relations. After an introductory summary of his general statements on causality, this paper analyses 26 selected topics that show how he deployed this methodology.
