Principles Of Political Economy (1840) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781165681464)

Principles of Political Economy, written by H.C. Carey and first published in 1840, is a comprehensive treatise on economics that explores the principles of free trade, protectionism, and the role of government in the economy. The book is divided into two parts, the first of which focuses on the principles of political economy, while the second part is dedicated to the practical application of these principles.In the first part, Carey discusses the basic principles of political economy, including the laws of supply and demand, the role of competition, and the importance of capital accumulation. He argues that a free market economy, in which individuals are free to pursue their own interests, is the most efficient way to allocate resources and promote economic growth.In the second part, Carey applies these principles to real-world economic problems. He discusses the benefits and drawbacks of protectionism, arguing that while it can be beneficial in the short term, it ultimately leads to economic stagnation. He also explores the role of government in the economy, arguing that while government intervention can be helpful in certain circumstances, it should be limited and targeted.Throughout the book, Carey emphasizes the importance of a strong and vibrant economy, arguing that economic growth is essential for the well-being of individuals and society as a whole. He also stresses the importance of education and innovation, arguing that these are the keys to long-term economic success.Overall, Principles of Political Economy is a seminal work in the field of economics, and one that continues to be studied and debated to this day. It offers a comprehensive and insightful analysis of economic principles and their practical application, and remains an important resource for anyone interested in understanding the workings of the modern economy.Part 3, The Causes Which Retard Increase In The Numbers Of Mankind; Part 4, The Causes Which Retard Improvement In The Political Condition Of Man.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
