I feel that's twice now you've had to correct my edits, thanks for the catch!

    I did? You're welcome, I guess.

      While Adam Smith may be questionable, the influence of Benthem's Utilitarianism on the Poor Laws and the subsequent institution of Work Houses definitely has Malthusian overtones to it. I disagree with the removal.

        If you rewrite that with Bentham in place of utilitarianism, it's fine. Edit: That rewrite is much better. The way it was worded before made it sound like utilitarianism was merely a justification for social Darwinism.

          Yeah, I realized that after re-reading it. I also should have dropped Adam Smith altogether, as his theories are whole nother kettle of fish.
