Although many of Edmund Burke's speeches and writings contain
prominent economic dimensions, his economic thought seldom receives
the attention it warrants. Commerce and Manners in Edmund Burke's
Political Economy stands as the most comprehensive study to date of
this fascinating subject. In addition to providing rigorous textual
analysis, Collins unearths previously unpublished manuscripts and
employs empirical data to paint a rich historical and theoretical
context for Burke's economic beliefs. Collins integrates Burke's
reflections on trade, taxation, and revenue within his
understanding of the limits of reason and his broader conception of
empire. Such reflections demonstrate the ways that commerce, if
properly managed, could be an instrument for both public prosperity
and imperial prestige. More importantly, Commerce and Manners in
Edmund Burke's Political Economy raises timely ethical questions
about capitalism and its limits. In Burke's judgment, civilizations
cannot endure on transactional exchange alone, and markets require
ethical preconditions. There is a grace to life that cannot be
bought.
