DESCRIPTION:Robert Malthus' notorious argument in his Essay on the\nPrinci
 ple of Population about the tendency of the population to expand at a fast
 er rate than the food supply is often described as the product of an argum
 ent he had had with his father Daniel\, a follower of Jean-Jacques Roussea
 u. But if we stop thinking about the Essay as an anti-Rousseauist argument
  and learn to read it instead in terms of a family quarrel (literally!) am
 ong different kinds of Rousseauist\, then powerful themes come into quite 
 a sharp focus\, which help to make historical sense of the transition from
  the political theories of the eighteenth century to nineteenth century an
 xieties over "the social question".
