Malthus, a clergyman's son and a prominent scholar, made significant contributions to political economy and history during his tenure at the East India Company's College. His seminal work, published in 1798, critiques Utopian ideals while formalizing concepts from classical economists like Adam Smith. Malthus explores the relationship between population growth and resource limitations, arguing that unchecked population increase can lead to societal challenges. His insights laid the groundwork for future discussions on economics and demography.
