Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
The eighteen essays in Merchantilism Re-imagined make very clear the multifaceted nature of political economy in early modern Britain, both in terms of ideas and practise. Some of the essays argue powerfully for emphasizing certain policies where balance of trade considerations were incedental. Thus there are important essays on the significance of population and labour to conceptions of economic potential and power ... The volume provides a good sense ofhow historians are now weaving together a wide range of factors when exploring the significance of economic policy as a reason of state. Most of the essays are rich, insightful and suggestive. * Julian Hoppit, The Time Literary Supplement * Read more...
