Today, it would be called \"economic nationalism,\" and in this book \u003cb\u003eIstvan Hont\u003c\/b\u003e connects the commercial politics of nationalism and globalization in the eighteenth century to theories of commercial society and Enlightenment ideas of the economic limits of politics.The book begins with an analysis of how the notion of \"commerce\" was added to Hobbes's \"state of nature\" by Samuel Pufendorf. Hont then considers British neo-Machiavellian political economy after the Glorious Revolution. From there he moves to a novel interpretation of the political economy of the Scottish Enlightenment, particularly of David Hume and Adam Smith, concluding with a conceptual history of nation-state and nationalism in the French Revolution.\u003ci\u003eJealousy of Trade\u003c\/i\u003e combines political theory with intellectual history, illuminating the past but also considering the challenges of today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Istvan Hont\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674055772\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674055773\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Belknap Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 560\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.50d","brand":"Istvan Hont","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43993980338431,"sku":"9780674055773","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9c929281-6f7a-4938-ab6b-f45bf9442e5e.jpg?v=1683327417","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jealousy-of-trade-istvan-hont-9780674055773","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
