The work details the emergence, in the post-Napoleonic War period, of a growing popular interest in the critical potentialities of political economy. It considers why this occurred and discusses how the conceptual and analytical tools of political economy were utilised to formulate a critique of early industrial capitalism. The book examines the theories of labour exploitation and capitalist crisis which represented the essence of that critique both as they were elaborated by early-nineteenth-century British anti-capitalist and socialist writers and as they were popularised by writers in the working-class press of the period 1816-34. The book argues that by 1834 in consequence of the efforts of writers such as Hodgskin, Thompson, Gray, Owen and their popularisers the foundations of a distinctively anti-capitalist and socialist political economy had been established and widely disseminated. But these foundations were theoretically flawed. They were flawed by an overconcentration on the sphere of exchange which derived from a particular conception of the determination of exchange value under capitalism; an overconcentration which led on to the suggestion of remedies for the problem of working-class poverty and distress which were necessarily doomed to failure.

This volume presents commissioned essays on important, but often neglected, Irish and English economists of the 18th and 19th centuries. Noticeable papers include Tom Sowell on 'Observations on Certain Verbal Disputes' and Sam Hollander's extended essay on Samuel Bailey, which adds to his voluminous treatment of the great classical economists. This volume intends to bring much needed attention back onto forgotten economists that shaped economic history.

Mill and F.A. Hayek.Vol 30-B: This volume includes archival documents and essays exploring the inter-relationship between the government and the economy.

Orval Watts against a new generation of Keynes-influenced textbooks focused on governmental policy and the scope of government activity. Warren J. Samuels examines Heinrich von Treitschke's view on property as a function of politics using archival documents. Also included is a detailed examination of Warren J. Samuels' views on the economic role of government, as well as two sets of course notes in addition to the introductory essay.
