Description

Explore the profound contributions of three transformative nineteenth-century thinkers in this scholarly examination of William Whewell, Dionysius Lardner, and Charles Babbage. This volume from the Pioneers in Economics series examines how Whewell evolved from historian and philosopher of science to become recognised as a founder of British mathematical economics, whilst investigating Lardner's influence as Professor of Natural Philosophy and Astronomy and Babbage's role in shaping economic thought during the industrial and technological revolutions. The work moves beyond contemporary significance to reveal how retrospective scholarship has fundamentally reframed our understanding of these three figures and their lasting impact on economic theory and practice. Essential reading for historians of economics, intellectual historians, and those interested in the development of mathematical and scientific thought during Britain's transformative early modern period.

Key Features

William Whewell's journey from natural philosophy historian to pioneering figure in British mathematical economics is thoroughly analysed and contextualised.

Dionysius Lardner's academic career as Professor of Natural Philosophy and Astronomy shaped early nineteenth-century scientific discourse.

Charles Babbage's contributions to economics and technology during the industrial revolution receive comprehensive scholarly treatment.

The book examines how industrial and technological revolutions influenced the economic thinking of all three economists.

Retrospective scholarship reveals the lasting theoretical significance of Whewell, Lardner, and Babbage beyond their contemporary recognition.
