Discussion
Who are the two early conflict theorists who refuted the Malthusian Theory, because they recognized that farming could match food supply needs of population ?
Answer: D
The two conflict theorists were Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.
Marx and Engels rejected the theory of Malthus. They argued that the poverty and hunger of the working class are caused by the capitalist system and its unequal distribution, and not by population outgrowing food, and that farming and production could be increased to feed a larger population.
Sutherland and Cressey are criminologists. Merton is a functionalist, and Auguste Comte and Henri Saint-Simon were early sociologists associated with positivism and not with conflict theory against Malthus.
