A History of Political Thought is an accessible introduction to the
history of political and economic thought; its main focus is the
rise, and eventual consolidation, of modern market society. It
asks: What are the effects of private property and commerce on
individual well-being and on the stability of the political
community? A History of Political Thought answers this central
question through the careful study of political philosophers and
economists, from ancient Greece to the twenty-first century. The
book does not have an ideological agenda and gives equal voice to
thinkers on opposite sides of the political spectrum. This is one
of its key merits and a mark of distinction: its willingness to
treat stark opponents - Hobbes and Locke, Smith and Marx, Keynes
and Hayek, among others - as equally worthy of serious study. In
doing so, the book provides students with a very powerful arsenal
of ideas about the evolution of the market and also provides a
solid introduction to the history of political thought.
