32: Malthus's Opinions on Rent

(EN: In the final chapter of the book, Ricardo adds his voice to the ongoing debate over Thomas Malthus's "Essay on Population." He agrees/disagrees with Malthus and others who have criticized the essay on a variety of points. Much of it seems like splitting hairs to me, and I feel the better approach would be to add Malthus to my reading list and draw my own conclusions rather than rely on Ricardo's second-hand report of its content.)
