This revealing work examines the roots of this great tradition, places in perspective a selection of authors, and assesses their contribution over three centuries in the light of a distinctive Scottish approach to economics. Scottish Enlightenment is an established area of research interest, and this volume offers new scholarship on key Enlightenment figures whilst placing emphasis on their approach to economic thought. Smith and Hume are key, but other less familiar, yet important authors are also investigated here, including a murderer, a revolutionary, a medical practitioner and a novelist (John Law, Sir James Stuart, John Rae and Shield Nicholson, respectively). The latest in a prestigious series charting national traditions in the history of economic thought, this important book, an essential read for scholars of economic thought, features contributions from such major historians of economic thought as Andrew Skinner and Antoin Murphy. 606 $aEconomics$xHistory$zScotland 615 0$aEconomics$xHistory 676 $a330.0941 700 $aDow$b Alexander Dow$01357451 702 $aDow$b Sheila 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476795403321 996 $aHistory of Scottish Economic Thought$93363460 997 $aUNINA
