History of Political Thought : Property, Labor, and Commerce from Plato to Piketty, Paperback by Bercuson, Jeffrey, ISBN 1487525907, ISBN-13 9781487525903, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US A History of Political Thought is an accessible introduction to the history of political and economic thought; its main focus is the rise, and eventual consolidation, of modern market society. It asks: What are the effects of private property and commerce on individual well-being and on the stability of the political community? A History of Political Thought answers this central question through the careful study of political philosophers and economists, from ancient Greece to the twenty-first century. Th does not have an ideological agenda and gives equal voice to thinkers on opposite sides of the political spectrum. This is one of its key merits and a mark of distinction: its willingness to treat stark opponents Hobbes and Locke, Smith and Marx, Keynes and Hayek, among others as equally worthy of serious study. In doing so, th provides students with a very powerful arsenal of ideas about the evolution of the market and also provides a solid introduction to the history of political thought.
