"Observations on the Effects of the Corn Laws, and of a Rise or Fall in the Price of Corn on the Agriculture and General Wealth of the Country" by T. R. (Thomas Robert) Malthus, is an analytical economic work that examines the British Corn Laws and fluctuations in corn prices in the early 1800s. Malthus provides a thorough review of the economic issues of the day for policymakers. Challenging some of the day's economic ideas, like those of Adam Smith, Malthus examines the connection between corn prices and labor. Through a balanced study of economics, Malthus informs legislative decisions regarding agricultural policy to improve society’s wealth.
