The Theory Of Political Economy (1879)

The Theory of Political Economy is a seminal work by British economist William Stanley Jevons, first published in 1879. This book is widely regarded as one of the most important contributions to the development of neoclassical economics. In this work, Jevons explores the fundamental principles of economics and offers a detailed analysis of the workings of the market system. He introduces the concept of marginal utility, which revolutionized economic thought and became a cornerstone of modern economic theory. The book also examines the role of government in the economy, arguing that the state should limit its intervention to ensuring the proper functioning of the market system. Jevons' clear and concise writing style makes this book accessible to both scholars and non-specialists. The Theory of Political Economy remains a landmark work in the field of economics and a must-read for anyone interested in the history of economic thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
