Social contributions and studies by Benjamin Franklin : ウィキペディア英語版 | Social contributions and studies by Benjamin Franklin
Benjamin Franklin made a lot of social contributions through his studies and foundation of few institutions. ==Population studies== (詳細はThomas Malthus—Franklin emphasized the abundance of food and available farmland in America. He calculated that America's population was doubling every twenty years and would surpass that of England in a century.〔Isaacson 2003, p. p 150〕 In 1751, he drafted "Observations concerning the Increase of Mankind, Peopling of Countries, &c." Four years later, it was anonymously printed in Boston, and it was quickly reproduced in Britain, where it influenced economists Adam Smith and later Thomas Malthus. Franklin's predictions also alarmed British leaders who did not want to be surpassed by the colonies, so they became more willing to impose restrictions on the colonial economy.〔Alfred Owen Aldridge, "Franklin as Demographer," ''Journal of Economic History'' (1949) 9#1 pp. 25-44 (in JSTOR )〕
