Abstract
The author develops the argument that Robert Malthus's Essay on Population was primarily intended to refute the ideas of human perfectibility advanced by Condorcet and Godwin, and in particular as a response to their attacks on the concept of property. A reconstruction of Malthus's economic analysis is attempted in order to capture in mathematical form what his production function would have been, and to analyze the relationship between population growth and food supply.
