Classical Economics I - The Critical Reviews: 1802-1815 (Hardcover, Reissue)

The critical reviews of the early 19th century consitute the beginning of periodical literature in economics and are the forerunners in modern economic journals. All the major issues of classical economics were studied within their pages, and any attempt to study the economics of the classical period is incomplete without reference to the economics of the classical period. However, until now, the articles have only been available in relatively specialist libraries. This series makes them more widely available. The first set focuses on the period from the founding of the "Edinburgh Review" to the end of the Napoleonic Wars. Exhibiting all that characterizes economic writing of the period, the 95 articles collected here include pieces by Brougham, Horner, Southey and James Mill. The subjects addressed include: international trade; banking and currency questions; the poor laws; the national debt; and population. Unlike many other recently published collections ofeconomic articles, this work includes appropriate explanatory notes and a long introduction.
