It also offers a significantly different interpretation of classical political economy, demonstrating that this school of thought supported the process of primitive accumulation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eClassical political economy presents an imposing facade. For more than two centuries, the accepted doctrine dictates that a market generates forces that provide the most efficient method for organising production. This laissez faire approach is an ideology that gives capital absolute freedom of action, and yet called for intervention to coerce people to do things that they would not otherwise do. Classical political economy therefore encouraged policies that would hinder people's ability to produce for their own needs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMichael Perelman, however, in this innovative take on the subject, seeks to challenge the ideologies that would allow things to continue in this line unchecked.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Perelman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1472514416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472514417\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/09\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"Michael Perelman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48153674645759,"sku":"9781472514417","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_46f3e0f6-8744-49d3-a8a5-6ba620b6d121.jpg?v=1770785069","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/classical-political-economy-michael-perelman-9781472514417","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
