Thanks for the fix

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 a whole 'nother kettle of fish.
