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.]
