| Front | What is Malthusian economic theory and how does this relate to 'A Christmas Carol'? |
|---|---|
| Back | Malthusian economic theory - Thomas Malthus cautioned against intervening when people were hungry because it would lead to a “surplus population”.
Scrooge could represent this malthusian theory due to “If they would rather die, then they should do it and decrease the surplus population.”
Therefore, ‘A Christmas Carol’ could be seen as a direct criticism of Malthusian theory. |
