It aims to shed light on Malthus's ideas and their relevance to contemporary economic andsocial issues. The opening of the text introduces readers to the context of Malthus's work, emphasizing his significant but often misrepresented role in political economy. Bonar outlines the structure of the book, indicating that it will cover the evolution of Malthus's thoughts beginning with the "Essay," followed by an examination of his economic theories, ethical perspectives, and critiques from contemporaries. The author presents Malthus as a figure often misunderstood and caricatured, highlighting the controversies surrounding his ideas and their implications for societal progress.
