Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

'In this wide-ranging yet tightly argued and frequently brilliant work, Donald Winch presents an intellectual history of British political economy, from 1848–1914. ... Winch's work, which combines fine-grained detail and lapidary prose with not inconsiderable empathy for this subjects, is a worthy addition to this exchange. It represents if not the definitive, certainly a definitive intellectual history of British political economy, from 1848–1914. Historians of economics and literature alike will profit greatly from this book.' Storia del pensiero economico
