Book II.—POPULATION AND SUBSISTENCE.
Chapter I. of this book is devoted to an explanation of the Malthusian theory that population naturally tends to increase faster than subsistence. Chapter 11. to an investigation of bhe facts on which that theory rests. Chapter 111. to a consideration of the analogies with which it is illustrated and defended ; and Chapter IV. to a presentation of the facts which disprove the theory. These chapters show not only that the tendency of wages to a minimum is not due to growth of population, but that growth of population actually increases productive power, and bherefore ought to make wages higher.
