Ed.Henry C.Clark. This collection of 37 readings (from 33 writers) brings together some of the most significant pre-Adam Smith writings on the political and cultural dimensions of capitalism. To modern readers, these 17th- and 18th-century discussions of commerce and economic life in general are surprising because they are so closely integrated to moral and cultural issues. Though we may have forgotten how extensively such issues were once discussed, it is uncanny what a contemporary ring many of these issues have. Part of the value of this book is in reminding us that many of our own concerns are not without precedent and earlier reflection.
