By: Material type: TextTextPublication details: New Haven; Yale University Press; 1958Description: 269pSubject(s): DDC classification:
  • 330.153 Bla
Summary: In broad outline, if not in detail, the Ricardian phase of clas sical political economy represents familiar terrain to the historian of economic thought. Since the title of this book suggests another chrono logical survey, I take this opportunity of saying that its theme is the rise and decline of the school of Ricardo in England: the reasons for its survival, but also the causes of its decay. "Study problems, not periods, Lord Acton used to say, and I have tried to hold to this pre cept throughout the book. The reader should not be surprised, there fore, if such standard topics as the theory of international values and the quantity theory of money are neglected except insofar as they bear directly upon the central theme of this study.
