Summary: Marx and Engels on Malthus, edited by Ronald L. Meek and translated from the original German by Ronald L. Meek and Dorothea L. Meek, is a collection of essays and letters written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. These pieces revolve around the subject of Malthusian population theory, and focus heavily on the intersection of the ideas of Malthus and class. Largely, the writing of Marx and Engels are critical of Malthusian concepts. These writing are contextualized by introductions and notes written by Meek that both proceed the essays, as well as being interspersed throughout the book. Overall, the book provides an overview of the thought process that Marx and Engels had towards overpopulation and Malthusian thought. --From the cataloguer
