Robert Torrens and the Evolution of Classical Economics.

£275 · Offered by Maggs Bros Ltd

A ‘masterpiece’ in the history of economic thought, ‘which established a vogue in viewing a whole period from the standpoint of a relatively minor economist of the day’ (Blaug). Robert Torrens (1780?-1864) ‘was a first class economist whose economic thought challenged the status quo, and who probably deserves to be ranked with Smith, Malthus, and Ricardo as one of the great Classical Economists’ (Baylen Gossman, Biographical Dictionary of Modern British Radicals II, pp. 499-500).
