It also offers a significantly different interpretation of classical political economy, demonstrating that this school of thought supported the process of primitive accumulation. Classical political economy presents an imposing facade. For more than two centuries, the accepted doctrine dictates that a market generates forces that provide the most efficient method for organising production. This laissez faire approach is an ideology that gives capital absolute freedom of action, and yet called for intervention to coerce people to do things that they would not otherwise do. Classical political economy therefore encouraged policies that would hinder people's ability to produce for their own needs. Michael Perelman, however, in this innovative take on the subject, seeks to challenge the ideologies that would allow things to continue in this line unchecked."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aBloomsbury academic collectons : economics. 606 $aCapitalism$xHistory 606 $aClassical school of economics$xHistory 606 $aDivision of labor$xHistory 606 $aEconomics$xHistory 606 $2Business studies: general 615 0$aCapitalism$xHistory. 615 0$aClassical school of economics$xHistory. 615 0$aDivision of labor$xHistory. 615 0$aEconomics$xHistory. 676 $a330.15/3 700 $aPerelman$b Michael$0119995 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792734103321 996 $aClassical Political Economy$9917780 997 $aUNINA
