Description

Explore the economic legacy of Thomas Hodgskin in this scholarly work from Routledge Studies in the History of Economics. While often viewed as a forerunner to Karl Marx, Hodgskin was actually a dedicated advocate of laissez-faire economics. This book provides a deep look into his true position within the classical liberal tradition. Readers will discover how Hodgskin acted as a disciple of Adam Smith, though he held even stronger views against government power than Smith himself. The text examines his support for the Industrial Revolution and his positive view of labor-saving machinery. By focusing on his genuine interest in the well-being of the working classes, this book corrects historical misconceptions and places Hodgskin firmly within the context of classical liberal thought. It is an essential read for those studying economic history and the development of liberal theory.
