He was privately educated by his father and by tutors when he was a child. Robert Malthus went to Jesus College at Cambridge; he got his Master in 1791. In 1798, Malthus published his famous work, the Essay on Population. Malthus stated that population growth always tend to out run the food supply. Food supply increases arithmetically while population increase geometrically. Malthus was an economic pessimist who believed the poor were better off dead. But, If they did not have the good fortune of being dead, the "law of nature" would kill them off sooner or later. For example of poor, sick, starving. According to Malthus, trying to help poverty would lead to a larger population which overpopulation. If leave poverty alone, poverty would take care of itself. .
