MALTHUS

população, pobreza e educação

Abstract

The text starts from indications that connect the neoliberalism with the malthusian social doctrin. It analises the Malthus thought about population, poverty and education, showing the reactionary feature both of their diagnostic of the superpopulation and of the policies intended in relation to: a) the moral control of the population increase; b) the suppression of the poor laws and c) a public education directed to the indoctrination, the ideological inculcation and the social control. It concludes by suggesting studies that confront the social and educational policies of the neoliberalism with the moralist and reactionary malthusian pedagogic messianism.
