Topic 2.6
Why would a country experiencing rapid industrialization be concerned about the principles behind the Malthusian theory?
Rapid urban growth might strain resources and services if not managed properly, echoing concerns outlined by Malthus.
The principles behind the Malthusian theory only apply to agricultural societies, not industrial ones.
Industrialized countries do not need to worry about resource scarcity because technology will solve all problems related to overpopulation.
The principles behind the Malthusian theory are debunked, so no country should worry about them anymore.
