Description

In this work, based on the author's studies of Adam Smith, David Ricardo and John Stuart Mill and work-in-progress on T.R. Malthus and Karl Marx, Samuel Hollander restates the major theoretical contributions of the British classical school. A central theme is the core of allocative or demand-supply theory running through the economics of the British classical school (roughly 1770-1870) and carried over into the post-classical period up to the present day. The author also traces the approach to economic growth (the major classical preoccupation) in post-1870 literature. Attention is paid to the Law of Markets, the celebrated 19th century monetary controversies, methodology, ideology and intellectual influence. Professor Hollander also addresses classical themes in Marxian economics - namely its allocative and Malthusian dimensions - and aspects of pre-Smithian literature, including scholastic economics, mercantilism and physiocracy.
