This volume unites, for the first time, Books IV and V of Mill's
great treatise on political economy with his fragmentary chapters
on socialism. It shows him applying his classical economic theory
to policy questions of abiding concern, particularly the
desirability of sustained growth of national wealth and population
versus a stationary state, the merits of capitalism versus
socialism, and the expedient scope of government intervention in
the competitive market economy. His answers to those questions have
considerable relevance today, and they serve to illustrate the
enduring power and imagination of his distinctive liberal
utilitarian philosophy. In his introduction, Jonathan Riley
clarifies Mill's approach, considers what constitutes the Millian
Utopia, and shows how examination of such an ideal society provides
valuable insights into the structure of his philosophy. ABOUT THE
SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made
available the widest range of literature from around the globe.
Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship,
providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable
features, including expert introductions by leading authorities,
helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for
further study, and much more.
