His work consistently appeals to scholars dismayed by existing disciplinary silos. Tocqueville is also well-regarded for diagnosing both the promise and perils of democratic life. Consideration of his ideas provokes serious consideration of and engagement with contemporary trends as citizens in democratic countries cope with challenges posed by new technological, cultural, and political changes. However, attention to Tocqueville is uneven across disciplines, with political theorists paying him the most heed and economists the least. This volume focuses on political economy, trying to bridge this divide. This book collects essays by emerging scholars from a variety of disciplines?political science, economics, sociology, philosophy, and social thought?to examine Tocqueville?s thoughts on political and social economy and its contemporary relevance. The book is divided into two halves. The first half engages with the main currents of research on Tocqueville?s own thoughts regarding economic institutions, constitutionalism, liberalism, history, and education. The second half applies Tocqueville?s insights to diverse contemporary topics including international relations, citizenship, mass incarceration, and pedagogy. This volume will be of interest to scholars and students interested in Tocqueville, the history of political thought, and a variety of current policy issues. 410 0$aMercatus Studies in Political and Social Economy,$x2946-5664 606 $aEconomics 606 $aEconomics$xHistory 606 $aPolitical science$xPhilosophy 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aPolitical Economy and Economic Systems 606 $aHistory of Economic Thought and Methodology 606 $aPolitical Philosophy 606 $aPolitical Theory 615 0$aEconomics. 615 0$aEconomics$xHistory. 615 0$aPolitical science$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 14$aPolitical Economy and Economic Systems. 615 24$aHistory of Economic Thought and Methodology. 615 24$aPolitical Philosophy. 615 24$aPolitical Theory. 676 $a320.092 676 $a306.2092 702 $aBoettke$b Peter J.$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMartin$b Adam$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910380753803321 996 $aExploring the Social and Political Economy of Alexis de Tocqueville$92005593 997 $aUNINA
