This investigation is concerned primarily with describing some characteristics of the institutionalist school of economic theory and then relating these characteristics to the writings of Thomas Robert Malthus. Thus in the course of this thesis two distinct sections are developed: one describing what are felt to be the outstanding characteristics of institutionalism and the second relating these characteristics directly to Malthus.

Några av livsmedelsforskaren Georg Borgströms populärvetenskapliga texter undersöks utifrån en teoretisk modell baserad på Faircloughs kritiskadiskurs analys och Callons översättningssociologi, samt utifrån en neutralitetsdiskurs. Speciellt analyseras texterna utifrån begriplighet, auktoritet och politiskhet. Borgströms förmenta neutralitet ifrågasätts, och retoriska metoder beskrivs och analyseras. Borgströms ambivalenta relation till Malthus belyses. Resultaten berör hur Borgström försöker mobilisera en intresserad allmänhet, något som kan sägas vara framgångsrikt.

This study aims to investigate Swedish newspaper’s takes and debates on professor Knut Wicksells outed opinions on reproductive restrictions and contraceptives. He, who was a liberal free thinker, endorsed contraceptives and claimed child restriction policy as a necessity for the welfare of the nation. He proposed these actions while calling himself a neo-malthusian. The study is performed by analyzing digitalized source materials of various Swedish newspapers from the Swedish Royal Library, Stockholmkällan and Project Runeberg. This was a controversial topic, which caused a temporary uproar during his most active years and startled a hot debate across the political spectrum during the Swedish fertility transition, as birth rates were starting to drop in the late 19th century. The study follows debate articles, chronicles and letters to editors of various newspapers that had lifted the subject and related it to different political goals.

Its objective was to analyze the need to use the rural credit to subsidize the food production in Brazil, under the alimentary safety's perspective. The research collected information starting from temporary series obtained within official institutions about the international and national food crisis, the rural credit and the food production in Brazil, with emphasis to the production of rice, bean, corn, soy and wheat, component grains on a basic basket. It was used as a background for data analysation the theory of Malthus, The results show the importance of the rural credit and the need of adopting stronger measures, in the sense of fomenting this as a way of promoting the food production which not only is it a contribution with the alimentary safety's subject but also a important source of employment generation. The results also show the need of providing for the whole chain of production of grains the necessary information to access the several financing sources. It concludes that besides the alimentary safety's aspect for the country's development politics being a crucial factor, there is no way of dissociating the subject of the world hunger and of the hunger in Brazil. There is also no way to do it without credit politics to finance the production of grains in the necessary amount to provide the minimum of the needs of the population. / Esta dissertação realizou um estudo analítico sobre a oferta do crédito rural para o financiamento da produção de alimentos. O objetivo foi analisar a necessidade de se utilizar o crédito rural para subsidiar a produção de alimentos no Brasil, sob o ângulo da segurança alimentar. A pesquisa coletou informações a partir de séries temporais obtidas junto instituições oficiais sobre a crise internacional e nacional de alimentos, o crédito rural e a produção de alimentos no Brasil, com ênfase à produção de arroz, feijão, milho, soja e trigo, grãos componentes da cesta básica. Utilizou-se como pano de fundo para analise dos dados a teoria de Malthus, os resultados mostram a importância do crédito rural e a necessidade de se adotar medidas, cada vez mais fortes, no sentido de se fomentar este como forma de alavancar a produção de alimentos que alem de contribuir com a questão da segurança alimentar é importante fonte de geração de emprego e renda. Os resultados mostram também a necessidade de disponibilizar para toda a cadeia de produção de grãos as informações necessárias para acessar as diversas fontes de financiamento. Conclui-se que além do aspecto da segurança alimentar para as políticas de desenvolvimento do país ser fator crucial, não há como dissociar a questão da fome mundial e da fome no Brasil. Também não há como prescindir de políticas de crédito para financiar a produção de grãos na quantidade necessária a prover o mínimo das necessidades da população.
