To modern readers, these seventeenth- and eighteenth-century discussions of commerce and economic life in general are surprising because they are so closely integrated with current moral and cultural issues. Part of the value of this book is in reminding us that many of our own concerns are not without precedent and earlier reflection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe selections come both from now-unfamiliar authors who were influential in their own time, as well as from such well-known writers as Rousseau, Defoe, Fielding, Montesquieu, and Voltaire. The essays emphasize the human meaning of the market; they were selected to provide a sense of the range of opinion that prevailed on the broader significance of the market economy before it became a pervasive feature of modern life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHenry C.

It offers a wide-ranging social-historical assessment of the moralization of economic conduct among ordinary people in pre-modern Europe. Its detailed survey presents a microcosmic view of the human condition. It resets the baseline for critical assessments of modern \"capitalism\" by offering an alternative to one of the most successful theories of the past half-century: E.P. Thompson's famous paradigm of the \"moral economy.\" This book casts modernity itself in a new light. It records and analyses many of the ordinary activities of ordinary people with a sympathy and a kindly wit which brings them to life after the lapse of centuries, uncoloured by the heroics of popular but unhistorical romanticism. Professor Clark's observations are shrewd, real, compassionate, historically-based, and unsentimental. The work highlights fundamental understandings of the most fascinating sources and vignettes. It shows the richness and variety of human character and the implications of the social and moral changes which took place.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51059689324817,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51059691913489,"sku":"NIN9781915115300","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52596970619153,"sku":"NLS9781915115300","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1915115302.jpg?v=1751348089"},{"product_id":"compass-of-society-book-henry-c-clark-9780739114827","title":"Compass of Society","description":"Compass of Society rethinks the French route to a conception of 'commercial society' in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

From the ancient Greeks to the present, Economic Morality: Ancient to Modern Readings offers substantial coverage to each major period of history: classical Antiquity, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and Reformation, the Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution, and the modern era. Everything from Aristotle to Adam Smith, from Marx to Hayek, and from Proudhon to Nozick has been brought together in one comprehensive survey. The perspectives represented in our volume include those of Christians and Muslims; Protestants, Catholics, and Jews; believers and non-believers; capitalists and socialists; conservatives and libertarians. They emphasize both law and mores, as well as history, philosophy, religion, and economics. This is a genuinely interdisciplinary volume, and one that invites a catholic and humanistic conversation. In preparing this collection, the contributors aim to recover something of the range of moral opinion that first accompanied the rise of economics in the eighteenth-century Enlightenment. The loss of that range of opinion has left a troubling void in our academic and public discourse. Those who broadly embrace the modern economic project tend to view it pragmatically but not morally, while those who are more critical of it often end up in a moral monologue that is unsatisfying to all sides. By showing the optimistic pragmatists the rich tradition of moral criticism and the pessimistic critics the equally rich tradition of (qualified) moral approbation, this volume seeks to facilitate conversation and bring much-needed mutual comprehension to a perennial debate.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52405164802321,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52405165424913,"sku":"NLS9780739192504","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780739192504.jpg?v=1758766339"},{"product_id":"compass-of-society-book-henry-c-clark-9780739114834","title":"Compass of Society","description":"Compass of Society rethinks the French route to a conception of 'commercial society' in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

What were the key political, economic and religious parameters operating in the Atlantic world at the time of the College’s founding? What was the religious scene like at the moment when the Rev. Samson Occom of the Mohegan nation and the Rev. Eleazar Wheelock of Connecticut, two men from very different backgrounds whose improbable meeting occurred during the Great Awakening of the early 1740s, set about establishing a new school in the northern woods in the 1760s? How were the agendas of contemporaries differently mediated by the religious beliefs with which they acted, on the one hand, and the emerging thought world of political economy, very broadly understood, on the other? These are among the rich and variegated topics addressed in Dartmouth and the World, which breaks the mold of the traditional commemorative volume.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52689715724561,"sku":"NLS9781683933199","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781683933199.jpg?v=1762336065"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/de-ch\/collections\/autor-buecher-von-henry-c-clark.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
