Malthusian \Mal*thu"sian\, a.
Of or pertaining to the political economist, the Rev. T. R.
Malthus, or conforming to his views; as, Malthusian theories.
Note: Malthus held that population tends to increase faster
than its means of subsistence can be made to do, and
hence that the lower classes must necessarily suffer
more or less from lack of food, unless an increase of
population be checked by prudential restraint or
otherwise.
