Originally published in 1924 and inevitably a product of the time in which it was published, the author assumes that people exercise their powers of reproduction near to capacity. The book views this pressure on population as a social problem, the fundamental cause of human and social challenges. Solutions such as a tax on children, public education and a laissez faire economic order are all suggested.

Reviews for Population and the Social Problem

Reviews of the original edition of Population and the Social Problem: 'This book is interesting not so much because of the information it contains, but because of the man it reveals...It is pungent with the human flavor of an original and inquiring mind, and of an irascible yet kindly disposition.' The New York Times. 'The book is quite as entertaining as the average novel, and vastly more informative.' Sunday Times.
