In 1798, Reverend Thomas Malthus said that the earth’s population would grow more quickly then we are able to produce resources, such as food (Dimick). He hypothesized that the population would grow geometrically, meaning it would double, while the amount of resources we have would only grow arithmetically (Dimick). What are the leading contributors to overpopulation and lack of resources, and what can country’s do specifically to fix the gap? Overpopulation is defined as “an undesirable…

According to Thomas Malthus, “the power of population is indefinitely greater than the power in the earth to produce subsistence for man” (Brainyquote.com, n.d.). The historical pattern of growth of the worldwide population since our origin started out slowly. Homo sapiens began approximately 130,000 to 160,000 years ago (Annenberg Learner, 2016). In early society, diseases and climate changes kept death rates high and life expectancies were short (Annenberg Learner, 2016). Our population…

slightly higher as election years have always seen a reduced growth forecast even for nominal GDP.

Though it is an artfully political compromise of the three pillars, its critics could say that the outlined goals are too optimistic in believing environmental and economic growth can happen at the same time. Market mechanisms can indeed be efficient, but it does not ensure a fair distribution of wealth and income relative to present and future need nor can it ensure that the economy takes into account the carrying capacity…

The patterns of American colonial life, specifically in the Massachusetts Bay colony, encapsulated the massive social, political, and economic shifts of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. Factors including freedom of religious expression and increased opportunity for wealth or opportunity led many Europeans to immigrate to New England.

As the economic advisor of Lisavia one of my main focus will be making sure that not just the president of Lisavia but especially the population of this country understand the factors that influence the desired increase in their standard of living. In order to increase their standard of living I will have to advise them as to which policies should be implement in order to rise productivity levels, income and with it be finally able to achieve their goals. However before submerging ourselves in…
