Not only were only 1-2% of high school grads going to college, but the proportion finishing high school was lower as well. And all this was okay by the lights of the time. Malthus got a "bad reputation" because Malthus made a prediction of a continued state of affairs that was very wrong. The prediction itself became dangerous. Color (organic) chemistry met agricultural production, engines replaced muscle and what happened was quite the opposite of Malthus' prediction. You can see the effects of this in the 1920s during the famine in Soviet climes. |
