Economic Theory And Natural Philosophy

Abstract

In Economic Theory and Natural Philosophy Charles Clark sheds new light on the development of economic thought, paying particular attention to elements of continuity and divergence. The book offers many new insights into Adam Smith, John Stuart Mill and Victorian evolutionary social theory, the natural law foundations of the marginal utility revolution and axiomatic general equilibrium theory. In conclusion, the author argues that if economic theory is to be truly scientific it must develop a theory that is based upon history and social structure.
