Riches and Poverty: An Intellectual History of Political Economy in Britain, 1750-1834
ISBN: 9780521559201 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 444 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Riches and Poverty explores an influential idea in political economy. The work of Adam Smith provided a key for studying the rich and poor and assessing the American and French revolutions.

Donald Winch completes the intellectual history of political economy begun in Riches and Poverty (1996).
