as for malthose, he didnt factor one thing into is theory and that is that food resevres and resources on the whole would increase as the population increased. and so he theory isnt garbage, we jsut havent reached the point where the population becomes bigger then what hta planet can sustain. thats still along way off but still that doesnt mean we should keep going the way we are.
Food is not a finite resource. It can be grown, replanted, recreated, etc. This is being done now, or else Malthus's doomsday scenario would have come true already.
And, yes, the people in India are hardworking and honest. However, the fact is that MANY American jobs are being lost to India (I was laid off in 2003 from a computer position...I made it to the final 10 out of 85 people) and the H1-B visa program in America is a disaster for our workers, with the usual excuse being that there aren't enough trained Americans to take the jobs, or the jobs are too menial. This is patent nonsense, and as I stated previously, if the playing field were leveled, via a global minimum wage for instance (which would never fly without a global currency) then the west will continue to bleed. Unless you're going for an advanced degree like a Master's or Ph.D (preferred) you may be in for a surprise in the computing industry. I've been in the field for over 10 years, and I've got a good idea of where it's heading.
