Publisher's Synopsis
The essays here provide a good overview of McCulloch's work, with both its strengths and its weaknesses. The genuine scholarship, the highly professional standard of writing, and the fundamental understanding of the need to relate theory to data and institutions, are all to be found here. The volume contains articles taken from McCulloch's Encyclopedia Britannica and Edinburgh Review contributions and also includes accounts of the lives and writings of Quesnay, Smith and Ricardo.
