Reverend Thomas Malthus reveals that we live in a universe run by a trickster god. As soon as the basic principles are figured out and explained: that human economies operate basically the same as animal economies, it ceases to be true.
We cover the basic operation of Malthusian economies. And move into the demographic changes that begin to happen during the Age f Walpole. This is the breakdown of the Western Marriage Pattern and its cultural ramifications, as described by Hajnal. The Western Marriage pattern of late marriages, substantial numbers who never marry, reduce potential fertility by about 50%.
Along the way we cover how Hutterite women are used (well, their data is used) by anthropologists to analyze and compare the possibilities of human fertility.
