Synopsis

Classic economic tracts from the founders of modern thought

This extensive collection gathers scarce writings on wealth, trade, debt, and public policy, drawn from the originals of Defoe, Franklin, Turgot, Burke, and more, with a helpful preface, notes, and index.

Designed for readers who value historical perspectives on economics and governance, this edition makes rare essays accessible in one volume. It presents a cross-section of ideas that shaped early modern views of money, markets, taxation, and the laws that steer national prosperity. The material is suited to study and reference, without assuming prior specialist knowledge.

  • Explore foundational discussions on wealth, distribution, and the role of capital.
  • Encounter works by notable authors including Defoe, Franklin, Townsend, Burke, and Bell, presented with editorial notes.
  • Benefit from a prefaced overview that frames the collection and its historical context.
  • Use as a reference for economics, history, and policy discussions across eras.

Ideal for readers of economic history, policy studies, and the long arc of wealth and trade.
