Thomas Malthus is still wrong:
"Malthus thought that the dangers of population growth would preclude endless progress towards a utopian society: 'The power of population is indefinitely greater than the power in the earth to produce subsistence for man'. As an Anglican clergyman, Malthus saw this situation as divinely imposed to teach virtuous behaviour."
