    I would suggest to research and teach more about the 10,000 BC until 1,000 AC. There were really big steps for humanity that set the new world as we know it that affect the living we have today. Greeks, Romans and Byzantines are some civilizations that need to be examined.

    Fantastic. I loved the last graph "marginal product of labor".

    Malthusian Model is a formula that limits per capita production and consumption to population size. - with the population size is a functions of per capital production level.

    In the theory of population thomus robert malthus mentioned two mathod to control human population one is preventive check and another one is positive check . can we consider crimes(The action of one person directly causing the death of another) and accident as a positive check ?

    Great course package (MALTHUS UCDAVIS).
    Concepts useful for estimation of market size, eco growth, business life cycle, business valuation, impact of Schumpeter innovation, effects of incentives, role of govt and regulatory bodies, effects of public policies, taxation, regulations, demographic shift, trade and commerce mechanics etc.
    Can the CROWD on TH-cam suggest any more applications (& how) for these MALTHUSIAN CONCEPTS.

    underdeveloped countries have more children as a result of 'child insurance' b/c of the high rates of child death. People who stay in school longer have children later and less of them, for they should have access and general knowledge of healthcare, which rids the need of having more kids for gene perpetuation. The fact that families in UDCs have more kids, and continue to outlive their means, perpetuates a micropoverty trap

      Who has children for the sake of "gene perpetuation"...

    You might say the democratic revolution began in classical Greece with the rise of oligarchic republics on a municipal scale that prefigured the oligarchic monarchy that took off in Britain really beginning with the execution of Charles I 40 years before 1688 and the Glorious Revolution. That happened 2,000 years before the seventeenth century. You might add a Christian revolution to the ones listed, one that began in 333 AD when the Roman Empire embraced Christianity and its world view that vied with that of Rome and its totally materialistic world view that based everything on material success. It was an enormous change to posit a God looking at people's souls for sin and virtue in contrast to gods who behaved like aristocrats with not much concern for "good" and "evil". These revolutions seem self-selected and would be very different if a Chinese scholar did the breakdown. Or even another Brit.

    @2wheels88 "The only reason technology moves slowly is because the elite hoard it for themselves and their war machine"
    Nearly all world-changing technology that emerged in the past 60 years can trace their origin to a USMIL or DARPA or another Military project. The microchip, the internet, GPS navigation, satellite communications, etc.
    Technological innovation is related to the war effort (Roland, 2009).

      not anymore, since today the concept of infinite growth is related to innovation. Governments are investing immensely in RD and entrepreneurship.

    • @ckakalak2

      False. you are basically implying that had there been no wars, we would have no new technology.

    Good example as to why I hated Uni.
    These unnecessary long lectures, because professors can't get to the point, repeating themselves continuously.
    He's only really sarted condensing content in the last 10 minutes and still didn't manage to answer what exactly got us out of the Malthusian trap in nearly 50 minutes of continuously waffling.
    No wonder so many professors can't make a living outside of academia in a setting where time is money, noone has the patience for them.

      Wasn't it because life expectancy went up and infant mortality went down on account of science? He's a genius but I don't get it. There's events because causality lags; cultural lag, technological lag, political lag. There's a biological inertia that makes people move. There's not enough to go around, no matter what earth shattering rhetoric one concocts. I refute it thus. Seems whacky.

    this idea that there was virtually no population growth until the industrial revolution is totally contradicted by the facts. there was in fact a pretty smooth ramping up leading up to 1800. how could he be so wrong?
    from 10,000 BCE to the year zero there was a 170-fold increase in population
    0-1000 CE - population doubles
    by 1700 population was doubling every 500 years
    by 1800 population was doubling every 300 years
    around 1900 the doubling rate had srunk to about 150 years.

    World history was, is, and always will be based on religion; what or whom ever is worshiped, dictates the evolution of society.

    This so-called expert on this subject is using models that have been proven to be blatantly incorrect. This model also only focuses on the draconian European ideals of overpopulation from the small villages of barbaric Anglo-Saxons warlike greedy perspectives whose only solution to most problems they face is to kill (exterminate) others.
    The issues of land ownership were not linquistic concepts used in the languages of Africa and Asia. The non-European thought that for anyone to claim to own land as the sole possessor was truly strange. This planet is 196,684,000 square miles and has about 25,000,000 square miles of arable land with potential to create twice that amount of arable land if needed. Their are about 7,000,000,000 people on this planet and that earth population is being sustained with use of only about 3.5 million square miles of the arable now available.
    These people that promotr the Malthusian Hypothesis seeking to kill all human beings on this planet except for about 600,000,000. Of course their will be a racial/racist hierarchy pecking order. Their plan is to eliminate most of the populations of Africa and Asia and those remaining will be enslaved but this part of the plan they never discuss in detail.
    So course the present economic capitalistic model will have to be replaced with a model resembling communialism/socialism. When their is an equal distribution of wealth and material the present hunger and other issues that now effect this planet would be completely eradicated. On planet their is not a need to have any trillionaires, billionaires or millionaires if their is hunger or poverty. The rich who in most cases obtained their wealth fom greed and exploitation of others will have to give it up for the good of all.
