From the Paper:

"In 1798, English philosopher and political economist by the name of Thomas Robert Malthus wrote the Essay on the Principle of Population in which he suggests that population doubles in size every quarter of a century or increases in geometrical ratio, whereas the means of subsistence cannot increase more quickly than arithmetic ratio (Lieberman, pg. 361, 2000). In his essay, Malthus claims that the economic destiny of the human race is impacted by rates of fertility, mortality, population size, and real wages."
