Population and Nutrition: An Essay on European Demographic History - Cambridge Studies in Population, Economy and Society in Past Time
Livi-Bacci, Massimo (Universita degli Studi di Firenze, Italy)
From the time of Malthus, the insufficient supply of food resources has been considered the main constraint of population growth and the main factor in the high mortality prevailing in pre-industrial times. In this essay, the mechanisms of biological, social and cultural nature linking subsistence, mortality and population and determining its short and long-term cycles are discussed.
