Opis

Sir James Steuart is a pivotal figure in the emergence of classical economics. His seminal Principles of Political Economy (1767) made major contributions to the understanding of such areas as population, the balance of payments, monetary theory and agricultural policy. This text addresses all aspects of Steuart's contribution to economics. In exploring Steuart's role in the history of economic thought, contributors: examine the intellectual context of his work; re-evaluate his influence; offer analyses of Steuart's economic thought; and discuss the relevance of his ideas to policy issues. The text reveals the particular importance of Steuart's work on monetary issues and highlights ways in which he prepared the ground for a new conception of economic relations."
