Malthus was a pioneer of modern population research,and his book Population principles is a groundbreaking document of modern demography.Although the Malthus population theory has been controversial since its inception,he has,after all,raised the question of the relationship between population growth and living materials for the first time,and the basic content of population theory has certain reasonable factors,therefore,with the development and change of the Times,Malthus population theory is constantly enriching and developing.After entering the 21st century,Malthus population theory has been applied to the study of Environmental Science,biology,medicine and other subject areas closely related to the population,and continues to play its due role.It is clear that in the new period,it is not only of theoretical significance but also helpful to solve the real population problem to continue to explore the Malthus population theory from a new perspective and to further explore the deep mechanism of the population system.The main content of this paper includes three parts.The first part introduces the background and family environment of Malthus population theory,and explains the historical inevitability and importance of its theory.This paper briefly combs and comments on the debate over Malthus population theory in the past more than 200 years,and shows that its theory has certain rationality.This paper examines the new development of Malthus population theory under the rapid growth of the world economy after the the 1960s,and affirms the efforts of the Roman club and the concept of sustainable development derived from the contemporary Malthus doctrine,which is the core of the study of global problems such as population,grain,resources and pollution.The second part mainly expounds the author's assumption of the stealth spring inspired by Hayek's "principle of spontaneous order" and Hooker's "Hooker's law" when he thinks about the deep mechanism of population change,and tries to make a tentative attempt on the structure of the population system itself,using the spring principle of spring deformation,spring elasticity coefficient,spring strength and endurance,etc.The adaptation of external factors and the relationship between the technology system of population resources are discussed briefly.The third part mainly makes a basic correspondence between the spring principle and the four core contents of Malthus population theory,and interprets Malthus's two axioms,two series,three propositions and two kinds of inhibition from the angle of spring principle,in order to further deepen the understanding of Malthus.population theory.
