:
Find the population for 100 yrs of growth
p = 120000*(1.08)^100
p = 263,971,351 in 100 yrs, sounds pretty far fetched, but there it is!

It is not a real population;
it is purely abstract notion/conception - not a real object.
There is no such a country "Malthusia", as well as there is no such a community of people "Malthusians".
so, these numbers have no any relation to any reality.
