Book Reviews: Part 2-Economics from 1700 to 1750

An unfinished manuscript in the form of an integrated “book review” of the economic philosophers born between 1700 and 1750. Focuses on the writing of Hume, Rousseau, Adam Smith, Turgot, Edmond Burke, Malthus, Condorcet and Bentham. Includes short introductions of each thinker and then combines the authors as a way to “form a portrait of thought of the times.” See also, “Book Reviews on Economics: Part 1,” “Book Reviews on Economics: Part 3” and “Book Reviews on Economics: Part 4.”



Warfield's words, from the article: "Eight authors born in the period 1700·1750 are singled out for contributions to economic thought. Following brief introductions to the eight authors reviewed here, the contents of the listed works are merged to form a portrait of thought of the times:" and "As in Part 1 of this series, the emphasis is on authors from the United Kingdom and France." The eight men whose writing are reviewed are: Hume, Rousseau, Adam Smith, Turgot, Edmond Burke, Malthus, Condorcet and Bentham. This is one of several unfinished manuscripts or working papers created by Warfield for his ECONOMICS RESEACH studies A printout of the paper is in Econ Research Note-binder No. 6.
