When Istvan Hont died in 2013, the world lost a giant of
intellectual history. A leader of the Cambridge School of Political
Thought, Hont argued passionately for a global-historical approach
to political ideas. To better understand the development of
liberalism, he looked not only to the works of great thinkers but
also to their reception and use amid revolution and interstate
competition. His innovative program of study culminated in the
landmark 2005 book Jealousy of Trade, which explores the birth of
economic nationalism and other social effects of expanding
eighteenth-century markets. Markets, Morals, Politics brings
together a celebrated cast of Hont's contemporaries to assess his
influence, ideas, and methods. Richard Tuck, John Pocock, John
Dunn, Raymond Geuss, Gareth Stedman Jones, Michael Sonenscher, John
Robertson, Keith Tribe, Pasquale Pasquino, and Peter N. Miller
contribute original essays on themes Hont treated with penetrating
insight: the politics of commerce, debt, and luxury; the morality
of markets; and economic limits on state power. The authors delve
into questions about the relationship between states and markets,
politics and economics, through examinations of key Enlightenment
and pre-Enlightenment figures in context-Hobbes, Rousseau, Spinoza,
and many others. The contributors also add depth to Hont's
lifelong, if sometimes veiled, engagement with Marx. The result is
a work of interpretation that does justice to Hont's influence
while developing its own provocative and illuminating arguments.
Markets, Morals, Politics will be a valuable companion to readers
of Hont and anyone concerned with political economy and the history
of ideas.
