Foundations Of Political Economy (1905)

By William Bell Robertson

Book Overview

""Foundations of Political Economy"" is a seminal work in the field of economics, written by William Bell Robertson and first published in 1905. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the history, theories, and principles of political economy, exploring topics such as the nature of value, the role of competition, the relationship between supply and demand, and the role of government in regulating economic activity.Robertson's approach is interdisciplinary, drawing on insights from philosophy, sociology, and psychology to provide a nuanced and multifaceted understanding of economic systems. He also engages with the work of other prominent economists of his time, including Adam Smith, David Ricardo, and John Stuart Mill.Throughout the book, Robertson emphasizes the importance of understanding the social and political context in which economic activity takes place. He argues that economic systems are shaped by a complex interplay of social, political, and cultural factors, and that a full understanding of these systems requires a holistic approach.Despite being over a century old, ""Foundations of Political Economy"" remains a valuable resource for students and scholars of economics, as well as anyone interested in understanding the fundamental principles that underlie modern economic systems.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
