The Measure of Value Stated and Illustrated

This book is an attempt to measure the monetary value of labor, through the perspective of the author Thomas Robert Malthus. Malthus was an English cleric, scholar, and influential economist in the fields of political economy and demography, well-known for his views called Malthusianism, which is the idea that population growth is potentially exponential while the growth of the food supply or other resources is linear, which eventually reduces living standards to the point of triggering a population to die off.
