Thomas Malthus• Arthur Young believed
that France would collapse when in 1789-90 it decided that aristocrats & commoners sat in a single legislative body.
• His view was over-determined by his fear of revolution in France.

Thomas Malthus• Piketty: “Whenever
one speaks about the distribution of wealth, politics is never very far behind, and it is difficult for anyone to escape contemporary class prejudices and interests.” (p. 4)

Thomas Malthus• Piketty: “It is
impossible to understand Malthus’ exaggeratedly somber predictions without recognizing the way fear gripped much of the European elite in the 1790s.” (p. 5)
