This study guide covers Malthusian and Cornucopian population theories. It explains Malthus's core ideas about population growth outpacing food production, and why his predictions were largely incorrect. It then discusses Neo-Malthusian views on resource depletion and population control. The guide also explores the Cornucopian perspective of population growth driving innovation. Finally, it connects these theories to the Demographic Transition Model, sustainability, and contemporary issues.
