Elementary Political Economy

Cannan's masterwork is a detailed analysis of the economics of the classicists, in the period between Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations (1776) and John Stuart Mill's Principles of Political Economy (1848). Smith, Ricardo, Malthus and J. S. Mill predominate, but other and lesser figures, including John M'Culloch, James Mill, Nassau Senior and William Paley are considered in Cannan's in-depth study. So thorough an analysis was it acknowledged to be that Hugh Dalton claimed in 1927 that 'no one need ever do this particular piece of work again'.Cannan, Edwin is the author of 'Elementary Political Economy' with ISBN 9781855067899 and ISBN 1855067897.
