In 1781 Abbe Raynal said of the united States of America.
"If ten million men ever managed to support themselves in these provinces, it will be a big deal..."
Today the population of the USA is over 260 million people.
The above qoutation is based on a Malthusian view of the relationship between population growth and resources.
What are THREE characteristics of the Malthuian view?
State ONE way of the USA has used EACH of the following to enable it to adequately support its large population:- Technology -Trade.
Can you think of any other example where technology/trade/another factor has made such a difference?
