Growth of population
Growth of food supply
Main Points of the 1st Edition• People need food to survive.
• People have a sex drive so strong that — unchecked —it will lead to a “geometrical” rate of population increase, e.g., 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32.
• People can only increase the output of food at an “arithmetical” rate of growth, i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
• These two forces — the force to procreate and the force to provide subsistence for the human output—must be kept in equilibrium.
• They are kept in equilibrium by a variety of checks—mainly war, famine, and disease.

Main Points of the 6th Edition
• Population is necessarily limited by the means of subsistence.
• Population invariably increases where the means of subsistence increases unless prevented by some very powerful checks
• These checks fall into two general categories: positive checks and preventive checks
Positive and Preventive Checks
• Positive checks:– war, famine, or disease
• Preventive checks:– Moral restraint: delayed marriage, celibacy– Vice: contraception, abortion, infanticide
