The Political Economy of Trade and Growth provides the basis for a major re-evaluation of Sir James Steuart's contribution to modern economics through a rigorous analysis of his most important work.Hong-Seok Yang presents an analytical interpretation of An Inquiry into the Principles of Political Economy, in terms of modern economics. This study of Steuart's classic work reveals that his political economy contains not only original ideas and ground-breaking thinking for his time, but also many major ingredients of modern economics. Arguing that the Inquiry is implicitly logical, Dr Yang analyses both its structure and content, placing Steuart's doctrine in historical, methodological and ideological context. Each chapter addresses a different part of Steuart's political economy. The author seeks to assess the significance of Steuart's thought and to explain why his work has so often been dismissed as 'mercantilism' by later readers. Comprehensive in its scope and thorough in its analysis this book will be welcomed by historians of economic thought and by all those interested in the processes behind the evolution of economic ideas and doctrines.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 26th European Symposium on Programming, ESOP 2017, which took place in Uppsala, Sweden in April 2017, held as Part of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software, ETAPS 2017. The 36 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 112 submissions. They cover traditional as well as emerging topics in programming languages. In detail they deal with semantic foundation and type system for probabilistic programming; techniqu3es for verifying concurrent or higher-order programs; programming languages for arrays or web data; program analysis and verification of non-standard program properties; foundation and application of interactive theorem proving; graph rewriting; separation logic; session type; type theory; and implicit computational complexity.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th Asian Symposium on Programming Languages and Systems, APLAS 2011, held in Kenting, Taiwan, in December 2011. The 22 revised full papers presented together with 4 invited talks and one system and tool presentations were carefully reviewed and selected from 64 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on program analysis; functional programming; compiler; concurrency; semantics; as well as certification and logic.
