Publisher's Synopsis
This volume contains four works representing different aspects of McCulloch's work. Discourse shows McCulloch as not merely a pioneer writer on economics but as an accomplished historian of economic thought. The Historical Sketch is a reminder of McCulloch's importance as a mainstream contributor to monetary literature in the first half of the nineteenth century. The third piece contains enthusiastic descriptions of the potential of the Indian economy, illustrating McCulloch's long-standing interest in India. The final essay is an excellent overview of his wage theory.
