A Reply to Kumar’s “Omission of Data in Wrigley’s ‘Reconsidering the Industrial Revolution’”
Kumar’s criticism is justified but only because the article in question failed to specify that England had achieved self-sufficiency in temperate foodstuffs rather than all foodstuffs.

It is normally the case that the concept of negative and positive feedback is a more approp…
