| Abstract: | Argues that the 'neo-Malthusian' doctrine promoted by many development assistance groups has ill served the world's poor. The African continent is the most susceptible to drought and famine and needs international action to prevent a continuing crisis. An introduction on Malthusian population theory is followed by eight chapters on the people and the land, farmers in development (a historical résumé), population problems and potential, science, technology and development in Africa (mainly contributed by Aaron SEGAL), food supply in Africa, the failure of Malthusian economics and other fallacies, African development in crisis, and continuity and change. |
