The Population Problem Two hundred years ago‚ Thomas Malthus‚ in An Essay on the Principle of Population‚ reached the conclusion that the number of people in the world will increase exponentially‚ while the ability to feed these people will only increase arithmetically (21). Current evidence shows that this theory may not be far from the truth.
