Publisher's Synopsis
Speculations From Political Economy is a book written by C.B. Clarke, which delves into the economic theories and principles that have shaped modern society. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of political economy, including the role of government in regulating markets, the impact of globalization on national economies, and the relationship between economic growth and social inequality.Throughout the book, Clarke draws upon a range of historical and contemporary examples to illustrate his arguments, from the Industrial Revolution to the recent financial crisis. He also engages with the work of other prominent economists, such as Adam Smith and John Maynard Keynes, to provide a comprehensive overview of the field.Overall, Speculations From Political Economy is a thought-provoking and insightful read that will appeal to anyone interested in the workings of the global economy and the role that politics plays in shaping it.Now the fact is that all tying up is to the detriment of the public. No man can provide for all contingencies. Indeed he can see so little a way ahead that in a few years it frequently happens that all the careful provisions of the will are working exactly as the testator would have desired them not to work. Land tied up is always worth less to the owner because it is tied up; and we have seen that the interest of the commonwealth is the sum of the interests of all its component members. When you tell me that an estate is now of small value to its life-owner and unget-at-able for any public purposes, in consequence of a will made by a man who died twenty years ago, it appears to me that you shew me convincingly that we have not Free Trade in land.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
