Pre-Malthusian Doctrines of Population: A Study in the History of Economic Theory is a scholarly work by Charles Emil Stangeland that explores the various theories and ideas about population growth that existed prior to the influential work of Thomas Malthus. The book delves into the views of ancient philosophers, such as Aristotle and Plato, as well as the writings of early modern thinkers like William Petty and Richard Cantillon.
