Excellent- More about The Return of Malthus: Environmentalism and Post-war Population-Resource Crises
The Return of Malthus is the first comprehensive analysis of the post-war fear of scarcity, tracing the development of an international discourse of crisis through the influence of neo-Malthusians. It examines the role of science and technology in securing food supply, the transmutation of older ideas about preserving nature into a new conservation ideology, and the preoccupation of industrialized nations with forestalling communism and controlling power relations.

The Return of Malthus is a groundbreaking exploration of the post-war fear of scarcity, providing a comprehensive analysis of this phenomenon. Author Linnér delves into the development of an international discourse of crisis, influenced by influential thinkers such as William Vogt, Fairfield Osborn, and Georg Börgström, known as "neo-Malthusians." These thinkers emphasized the impending clash between population growth and resource limits, reminiscent of the nineteenth-century father of scarcity economics.
The book offers a profound analysis of various aspects, including the role of science and technology in securing food supply, the transformation of older ideas about preserving nature into a new conservation ideology centered around sustainable use, and the concerns of industrialized nations regarding forestalling communism and controlling power relations. Published in 2003 by The White Horse Press, this revised edition remains highly relevant in today's world, shedding light on perceptions and prescriptions for crises related to population growth and resource shortage.
Throughout its pages, The Return of Malthus offers insightful perspectives and recommendations that have had a profound influence on agricultural, population, and security policies from the Second World War to the present. It serves as a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and individuals interested in understanding the complex dynamics of scarcity and its implications for our global society.
