'''Robert Malthus''' (born Thomas Robert Malthus, 1766-1834) was a [[British]] demographer and economist best known for his gloomy prediction that population growth would always outstrip food supply. He warned in 1798 that unless population growth was controlled the world's population would grow faster than the food supply and mass starvation would result.  His population theory was one of the first and most important complex socio-economic models for predicting the future. The model inspired [[Charles Darwin]]'s [[Theory of Evolution]]<ref>  Darwin wrote, "In October 1838... I happened to read for amusement Malthus on Population... it at once struck me that under these circumstances favorable variations would tend to be preserved, and unfavorable ones to be destroyed. The result of this would be the formation of new species."</ref>.
