In a brilliant recreation of the epoch between the 1770s and the
1820s, Emma Rothschild reinterprets the ideas of the great
revolutionary political economists to show us the true landscape of
economic and political thought in their day, with important
consequences for our own. Her work alters the readings of Adam
Smith and Condorcet--and of ideas of Enlightenment--that underlie
much contemporary political thought. Economic Sentiments takes up
late-eighteenth-century disputes over the political economy of an
enlightened, commercial society to show us how the "political" and
the "economic" were intricately related to each other and to
philosophical reflection. Rothschild examines theories of economic
and political sentiments, and the reflection of these theories in
the politics of enlightenment. A landmark in the history of
economics and of political ideas, her book shows us the origins of
laissez-faire economic thought and its relation to political
conservatism in an unquiet world. In doing so, it casts a new light
on our own times.
