This collection of 37 readings contributes to an understanding of the complexity of modern economic life by bringing together some of the most significant writings on the political and cultural dimensions of capitalism before the effects of Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations (1776) began to be felt. The selections come both from now-unfamiliar authors who were influential at the time and from such well-known writers as Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Montesquieu, Voltaire, Jean-Jaques Rousseau and David Hume. / AUS DEM INHALT: / / / Foreword ix Editor's Note xix Translator's Note xxi Acknowledgments xxiii Conceptions for a Free Trade,William Walwyn Political Maxims of the State of Holland, Pieter de la Court A New Discourse of Trade, Josiah Child Moral Essays, Pierre Nicole A Discourse of Trade, Nicholas Barbon Discourses upon Trade, Dudley North Second Discourse on the Affairs of Scotland, Andrew Fletcher The Spectator, Richard Steele "General Idea of the New System of Finances," John Law Cato's Letters, John Trenchard The Fable of the Bees, Bernard Mandeville An Enquiry Whether a General Practice of Virtue Tends to the Wealth or Poverty, Benefit or Disadvantage of a People, George Blewhitt The Complete English Tradesman, Daniel Defoe Plan for the Improvement of Commerce, Charles Irénée Castel de Saint-Pierre A Political Essay upon Commerce, Jean-François Melon "The Worldling," Voltaire "The Man of the World," Voltaire "On Commerce and Luxury," Voltaire Spectacle of Nature, Noël-Antoine Pluche Spirit of the Laws, Montesquieu On Money, Ferdinando Galiani "An Enquiry into the Causes of the Late Increase of Robbers," Henry Fielding "Of Refinement in the Arts," David Hume "Mémoire," Jacques-Claude-Marie-Vincent de Gournay "Luxury, Commerce, and the Arts," Jean-Jacques Rousseau A View of the Manner in Which Trade and Civil Liberty Support Each Other,William Hazeland The Commercial Nobility, Gabriel François Coyer An Estimate of the Manners and Principles of the Times, John Brown "In Praise of Gournay," Anne-Robert-Jacques Turgot "Luxury," Jean-François Saint-Lambert A View of the Progress of Society in Europe, William Robertson Reflections on the Formation and the Distribution of Wealth, Anne-Robert-Jacques Turgot On the Origin and Progress of a New Science, Pierre Samuel Du Pont de Nemours Dialogues on the Grain Trade, Ferdinando Galiani vi Contents "A Philosophical and Political History of the Settlements and Trade of the Europeans in the East and West Indies," Guillaume-Thomas-François Raynal On the Origin of the Distinction of Ranks, John Millar Commerce and Government Considered in Their Mutual Relationship, Étienne Bonnot de Condillac Glossary Index
