Economy, Polity, and Society and its companion volume History,
Religion, and Culture bring together major new essays on British
intellectual history by many of the leading scholars of the period,
continuing a mode of enquiry for which Donald Winch and John Burrow
have been widely celebrated. This volume addresses aspects of the
eighteenth-century attempt, particularly in the work of Adam Smith,
to come to grips with the nature of 'commercial society' and its
distinctive notions of the self, of political liberty, and of
economic progress. It then explores the adaptations of and
responses to the Enlightenment legacy in the work of such early
nineteenth-century figures as Jeremy Bentham, Tom Paine and Maria
Edgeworth. Finally, in discussions which range up to the middle of
the twentieth century, the volume examines particularly telling
examples of the conflict between economic thinking and moral
values.
