Book Description
This edition presents all Barbon's pamphlets: A Discourse of Trade (1690), A Discourse Concerning the New Money Lighter (1696), An answer to a paper entitled reasons against reducing interest to four per cent (1694), A discourse showing the great advantages that new buildings, and the enlargement of towns and cities do bring to a nation (1678), and An apology for the builder (1685), all of them in a modernised version. Some archaisms were removed in order to improve the fluency of the reading (such as changing betwixt to between, hath to has, and mony to money), some names and places were modernised (such as Lock to Locke, when referring to the English philosopher, Orchadis to Orcades, and Sueden to Sweden), and the excessive midline capitalisation often found in old texts was also transformed in today's standard capitalisation. All these numerous editions were made in order to make the text more readable for today's reader while still being faithful to the author as much as possible.

Book Description
The Classical Tradition in Economic Thought demonstrates that classicism, in all its many faces, is not only alive but generating an ongoing flow of interpretative literature which will be of interest to students and scholars concerned with economic theory and the history of economic thought as well as the heterodox schools in modern economics.

Book Description
The Spirit of Capitalism answers a fundamental question of economics, a question neither economists nor economic historians have been able to answer: what are the reasons (rather than just the conditions) for sustained economic growth? Taking her title from Max Weber's famous study on the same subject, Liah Greenfeld focuses on the problem of motivation behind the epochal change in behavior, which from the sixteenth century on has reoriented one economy after another from subsistence to profit, transforming the nature of economic activity. A detailed analysis of the development of economic consciousness in England, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Japan, and the United States allows her to argue that the motivation, or spirit, behind the modern, growth-oriented economy was not the liberation of the rational economic actor, but rather nationalism. Nationalism committed masses of people to an endless race for national prestige and thus brought into being the phenomenon of economic competitiveness. Nowhere has economic activity been further removed from the rational calculation of costs than in the United States, where the economy has come to be perceived as the end-all of political life and the determinant of all social progress. American economic civilization spurs the nation on to ever-greater economic achievement. But it turns Americans into workaholics, unsure of the purpose of their pursuits, and leads American statesmen to exaggerate the weight of economic concerns in foreign policy, often to the detriment of American political influence and the confusion of the rest of the world.
