The problem of placing Malthus within the 'classical school' can be approached by investigating the Ricardo-Malthus relationship. I find no substantive differences on value or canonical growth theory. Malthus's population policy was directed against upper-class, military and Church ideology, a position shared with Ricardo. A major analytical difference entails Malthus's ascription to agriculture of a superior productivity reflecting Physiocratic surplus theorizing ; were it not that he abandoned his agricultural protectionism any notion of a unified 'classical' doctrine would be compromised. As for the aggregate demand problem, the divide is narrowed by Malthus's surprisingly orthodox perspective on monetary and fiscal policy. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
