Mercantilism - Critical Concepts in the History of Economics (Hardcover)

The British mercantilist writers of the 17th and 18th centuries had great influence on modern economics. Their writings, especially on trade and on money, have had an impact both through their ideas and by shaping the language in which subsequent economic debate took place. This text demonstrates that the mercantilists were more subtle and balanced economists than Smith and his followers alleged. Far from naively confusing wealth and money, the writers produced sophisticated accouts of the workings of the economic system which show a complex response to the political economy of the time. The texts reproduced range from Thomas Mun's "A Discourse of Trade from England Unto the East..." (1621) to Jacob Vanderlint's " Money answers to all things..." (1734). Other writers featured include Edward Misselden, John Cary, Joshua Child, John Locke, Charles Davenant and Matthew Decker.
