Biological poverty
English scholar Thomas Robert Malthus supported basically an eternal misery law of biological poverty, basically concluding that whatever human progress is made in producing more food and other goods will always give a matching increase in population, so holding poverty steady always. According to Malthus, if food production is steady then population will be steady - though progress may tend to increase food production and give a matching growth in population that holds poverty steady.[1] Malthus biological poverty is arguably right for primitive human societies, as it is for wild plants and animals. But certainly not for more modern human societies, nor for the domesticated plants and animals.[1]
