Thomas Hodgskin (1787-1869) is today a largely unknown figure,
sometimes considered to be a forerunner of Karl Marx. Yet a closer
look at Hodgskin's works reveals that he was actually a committed
advocate of laissez-faire economics and enthusiastic about
labor-saving machinery and the Industrial Revolution, with a
genuine interest in the well-being of the working classes. This
book places him in the tradition of classical liberalism, where he
belongs-as a disciple of Adam Smith, but even less tolerant of
government power than Smith was. Classical Liberalism and the
Industrial Working Class: The Economic Thought of Thomas Hodgskin
will be of interest to advanced students and scholars in the
history of economic thought, economic history and the history of
political thought.
