What problem did population theorists of the Industrial Revolution think the world's rising population would cause?
Malthus believed the world's population was growing far too fast for the farms and agricultural markets to keep up. He feared that the world would be plunged into a massive famine due to the lack of ability to feed the ever-rising population. While his fears were never completely realized as a worldwide famine on the scale he imagined never happened, there have been many large-scale famines that greatly diminished the populations of many nations.
