Synopsis
Excerpt from Essays on Some Unsettled Questions of Political Economy Of these Essays, which were written in 1829 and 1830, the fifth alone has been previously printed. The other four have hitherto remained in manuscript, because, during the temporary suspension of public interest in the species of discussion to which they belong, there was no inducement to their publication. They are now published (with a few merely verbal alterations) under the impression, that the controversies excited by Colonel Torrens' Budget have again called the attention of political economists to the discussions of the abstract science: and from the additional consideration, that the first paper relates expressly to the point upon which the question at issue between Colonel Torrens and his antagonists has principally turned. From that paper it will be seen that opinions identical in principle with those promulgated by Colonel Torrens (there would probably be considerable difference as to the extent of their practical application) have been held by the writer for more than fifteen years: although he cannot claim to himself the original conception, but only the elaboration, of the fundamental doctrine of the Essay.

About the Author
John Stuart Mill was an English philosopher, politician and economist most famous for his contributions to the theory of utilitarianism. The author of numerous influential political treatises, Mill s writings on liberty, freedom of speech, democracy and economics have helped to form the foundation of modern liberal thought. His 1859 work, On Liberty, is particularly noteworthy for helping to address the nature and limits of the power of the state over the individual. Mills has become one of the most influential figures in nineteenth-century philosophy, and his writings are still widely studied and analyzed by scholars. Mills died in 1873 at the age of 66.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book by an illustrious political economist introduces the reader to the theories of international trade and political economy popular throughout much of the 19th century. The author argues that trade can be mutually beneficial to all parties, even if one party has no inherent advantage at producing any particular good. The author also concludes that when two countries trade, the prevailing exchange rate between their two forms of currency will adjust itself to a point where the overall value of goods imported by each country is balanced by the overall value of goods exported, at which point trade will remain stable. This insightful book lays out the fundamentals of international trade and offers a perspective on the economic landscape of the 1800's.
