Demographer and economist Thomas Malthus also felt that the Poor Law ought to be abolished, since it limited the mobility of labour. Although he conceded that if there had been no poor law there would be "a few more instances of severe distress," he still felt that "the aggregate mass of happiness among the common people would have been much greater than it is at present." However, he was one of the first to advocate so called 'indoor relief' in workhouses for the poor as opposed to handouts.
In England, Malthus pointed out that the socialists can breed as many poor up to a point, and like a Fischer debt spiral they all die from disease, hunger and genocidal government reaction, or war.
The truth is that nature kills off the proper amount at the proper rate after considering quantization error, and man just follows orders.
