Classical Economics in Bloomington, MN

In this unconventionial and sharply written text, Hollander introduces the work of Smith, Ricardo, and Mill, and, on specific topics: Malthus and Marx. He leads the student through the nuances of the arguments, making clear how he agrees with or challenges recieved ideas about their writings. Attention is given to the precursors of the classics, to their immediate successors, and to the Sraffian system.
