THOMAS R. MALTHUS’UN VE KARL MARX’IN YOKSULLUK VE NÜFUS KAVRAMLAŞTIRMASI
En iyi bilinen nüfus teorisi, Malthus’un nüfus teorisidir. İngiltere’nin hızla artan
nüfusu, yanlış yönlendirilmiş bir Yoksul Yasası ile teşvik edilmiş ve bu Malthus’u
çok derinden rahatsız etmiştir. 1798 yılında Malthus, “Nüfus İlkesi Üzerine Bir
Deneme” adlı çalışmasında nüfus artışı ve gıda üretimi arasındaki ilişkiyi
incelemiştir. Malthus’un nüfus teorisi birçok insan tarafından desteklenmiştir
ancak 19. yüzyıl sosyoloğu Karl Marx yoksulluk ve açlığın nüfus artışının değil
kapitalist ekonominin bir sonucu olduğunu iddia etmiştir. Ayrıca zenginliğin adil
bir şekilde dağıtılmasıyla, gıda kaynaklarının nüfus artışına ayak uyduracağını
savunmuştur.
POVERTY AND POPULATION CONCEPT OF THOMAS R. MALTHUS AND KARL MARX
The best known population theory is Malthus’ population theory. The rapidly
growing population of England was encouraged by a misguided Poor Law, which
made Malthus very deeply disturbed. In 1798, Malthus examined the relationship
between population growth and food production in “An Essay on Population
Policy”. Malthus’ population theory was supported by many people, but the 19th
century sociologist Karl Marx claimed that poverty and hunger were not the
result of population growth, but a result of the capitalist economy. He also argued
that with a fair distribution of wealth, food resources would keep pace with
population growth.
