While the history of early modern science is well-charted terrain,
less has been recorded on the economic thinking of the same period
and less still on the intersection of these fields. Addressing this
gap in scholarship, "Oeconomies in the Age of Newton" offers a
detailed account of economic concepts of the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries. The volume focuses on "oeconomics"--as
"economics" was spelled at that time--which implies a view of
economics as shaped by the Greek concept of the household.
Examining a range of "oeconomic" curiosities, "Oeconomies in the
Age of Newton" provides intriguing insights into a historical
conceptualization of economic relations that differs markedly from
the more narrowly defined economics of today.
