Primes

  • Diminishing Returns (Law of)
    • theory of rent, Malthus

      This sourceArgues population grows geometrically while food supply grows only arithmetically because additional agricultural labor must work progressively poorer (marginal) land — an early diminishing-returns argument about land productivity; supports the prime's Malthus-on-population-and-food claim. [6th ed. 1826 expands substantially.]

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
