Summary | "The Malthusian Handbook" by Anonymous is a socio-political guide written in the late 19th century, specifically in 1898. The work addresses the pressing issue of poverty and its relationship with population growth, arguing that unchecked population increase is the primary cause of social ills. The author aims to equip readers, particularly the lower classes, with the knowledge and means to control their family sizes to prevent the cycle of poverty. The opening of the book presents a thorough examination of societal poverty, drawing connections between overpopulation and various social problems such as crime and disease. It introduces the ideas of Thomas Robert Malthus and highlights the need for understanding and implementing birth control as a preventive measure against poverty. By analyzing nature's laws regarding population growth, the text sets the stage for discussing practical methods for controlling family size, emphasizing that knowledge in this area is crucial for the well-being of society.
