Footnotes
J.M. Keynes "argued that Malthus's theory of effective demand provided a scientific explanation of unemployment, and that the hundred-year domination of Ricardo over Malthus had been a disaster for the progress of economics. Keynes believed that if economics had followed Malthus ... the world would be a much wiser and richer place" (ODNB).
Provenance: R. Townley Parker (1858), bookplate; Reginald Arthur Tatton, bookplate.
