Thomas Robert Malthus 
Collected Works of Thomas Robert Malthus. Illustated [EPUB ebook] 
Definitions in Political Economy, An Inquiry into the Nature and Progress of Rent, An Essay on the Principle of Population and others

Thomas Robert Malthus was influential economist in the fields of political economy and demography.
In his 1798 book An Essay on the Principle of Population, Malthus observed that an increase in a nation's food production improved the well-being of the population, but the improvement was temporary because it led to population growth, which in turn restored the original per capita production level.
Malthus developed the theory of demand-supply mismatches that he called gluts. Discounted at the time, this theory foreshadowed later work by an admirer, John Maynard Keynes.
Malthus laid the theoretical foundation of the conventional wisdom that has dominated the debate, both scientifically and ideologically, on global hunger and famines for almost two centuries. He remains a much-debated writer.
