Synopsis

This reconsideration of the macroeconomics, microeconomics, methodology, and social philosophy of the classical economists has been a small gem on the history of economic thought, written in a way accessible to students, while having much to teach scholars. The reissue of this book twenty years after its original publication is a tribute to the enduring relevance of the questions raised during the formative period of economics and to the skill with which the author analyzes them.

About this title

Review

"The discussion of Say's Law is one of the best in the literature and on its own would make the book worthwhile.... This is a lively book by a real scholar ... a man who knows his subject and who writes with vigor and with interest."--D. P. O'Brien, Economica

"Clearly presented, lucidly written, and informative."--The Economist

"It is a well-written and well-organized book. Illuminating insights (and some provocative conclusions) are scattered throughout."--Roger M. Troub, Social Science Quarterly
