Shah criticizes Malthus on many points inclyuding that he does not understand people’s reasoning for having children. He also thought that Malthus’s views on tkkhe role of the givenrment in population control and how they could be mouch more influential than Malthus gave them credit for. As a survivor of the French revolution he put hardly any stock at all in the power/wisdom of the government and therefore sold it short in the eyes of shah. He clearly respects Malthus and sites him as a source of darwin’s great theory. He also criticizes Malthus’s underestimation of the New World an dit’s fertility and ability to feed populations and in fact harvest a new one. He does not wholly discount any of malthus’s writings and in fact leaves room for them to be validated but he does site that in his time he was not entirely accurate.
