Malthus on Growth, Glut, and Redistribution

John Pullen

History of Economics Review, 2016, vol. 65, issue 1, 27-48

Abstract: The view that Malthus did not have a coherent and convincing theory of either growth or glut is criticised, and the contrary view is supported, and strengthened by extensive textual material showing the emphasis he placed on redundant or idle savings, and on the maldistribution and inequality of wealth as basic causes of depression and glut, and on redistribution as a remedy for glut or slow growth.
