Publisher's Synopsis
Political Economy For The People is a book written by John Lancelot Shadwell in 1880. The book is a comprehensive guide to the principles of political economy, aimed at the general public rather than academics or specialists in the field. The book covers a wide range of topics related to political economy, including the principles of supply and demand, the role of government in regulating markets, and the impact of international trade on national economies. Shadwell also explores the history of political economy, tracing its development from the mercantilist theories of the 17th and 18th centuries to the classical liberal ideas of Adam Smith and his followers.Throughout the book, Shadwell emphasizes the practical applications of political economy, arguing that a sound understanding of economic principles is essential for anyone seeking to make informed decisions about public policy or personal finance. He also addresses some of the ethical and social implications of economic theory, such as the effects of inequality and the role of labor unions in protecting workers' rights.Overall, Political Economy For The People is a useful introduction to the field of political economy, written in clear and accessible language for a general audience. It provides a valuable historical perspective on economic theory, while also offering practical insights into contemporary economic issues.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
