What's the difference between malthusian and malthusianism?

Malthusian


Definition:

  • (a.) Of or pertaining to the political economist, the Rev. T. R. Malthus, or conforming to his views; as, Malthusian theories.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) This paper is concerned with the connection between two classes of population variables: measures of population growth rate--the Malthusian parameter, the net reproduction rate, the gross reproduction rate, and the mean life expectancy; and measures of demographic heterogeneity--population entropy.
  • (2) The well-known disagreement between Malthusian and Marxian viewpoints therefore has its foundation in method.
  • (3) This paper presents a unified account of the properties of the measures, Malthusian parameter and entropy in predicting evolutionary change in populations of macromolecules, cells and individuals.
  • (4) The final section analyses the consequences of adopting a neo-Malthusian view, and it is shown that in a world dominated by an elite, this can frequently bring about the political, social, and economic repression of a non-elite.
  • (5) The neo-Malthusian population concept originated in the international agencies, who saw fertility control as a solution to global economic problems.
  • (6) Whatever the ideology--Malthusian or Marxist--there is no doubt that population is closely linked to development variables, of which health is a part.
  • (7) The desire for control is predicated on the Malthusian idea that there is a finite number of people a country can sustain without compromising standards of living.
  • (8) Neo-Malthusians, publishing in popular rather than scientific journals, are predicting dire results from rampant population growth and recommending coercive remedies, e.g., mass sterilizations, child rationing, and controlled extermination.
  • (9) Using a relation between these measures and the Malthusian parameter, it is shown that in a random mating population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, and under slow selection, the rate of change of entropy is equal to the genetic variance in entropy minus the genetic covariance of entropy and reproductive potential.
  • (10) These properties, which are valid for populations of macromolecules, cells and individuals, show that the Malthusian parameter and entropy act as complimentary fitness indices in understanding evolutionary change in populations.
  • (11) Autocrine controls are described as modifiers of the Malthusian growth rate (r), while paracrine controls modify the carrying capacity (K) of the system.
  • (12) Family planning is seen as a means of helping to improve the socioeconomic problems that lie at the base of the Malthusian dilemma.
  • (13) The economic development in Brazil in the 1950s was the basis of accepting neo-Malthusian reasoning.
  • (14) The reproductive potential measures the mean of the contribution of the different age classes to the Malthusian parameter.
  • (15) Entropy determines population stability: the gain in the Malthusian parameter due to small fluctuations in the life-cycle variables is determined by entropy.
  • (16) The Malthusian parameter is precisely the difference between the entropy and the reproductive potential.
  • (17) It is shown that only a population with development rates maximizing the Malthusian function (reaching zero value at the equilibrium state of the system) is able to survive under competition for food resources.
  • (18) They were dominated by the new Malthusian nightmare, the tussle with malaria, the eradication of smallpox, the improved control of some other serious infections, the struggles for family planning, breast-feeding, immunization, and clean water, among other things, and above all, perhaps, by the decline of the doctor and the rise of the planner and manager.
  • (19) It is shown that a Malthusian or neo-Malthusian view of the population problem is inevitable if enquiry is founded in empiricism or in normative analytics.
  • (20) First, the coefficient of variation in population size appears to be inversely related to the Malthusian parameter of population growth.

Malthusianism


Definition:

  • (n.) The system of Malthusian doctrines relating to population.
