Description

Thomas Hodgskin (1787-1869) remains a largely overlooked figure in economic history, often mischaracterised as a Marx precursor. This Routledge scholarly work reassesses Hodgskin's intellectual legacy, revealing him as a dedicated advocate of laissez-faire economics and a genuine supporter of labour-saving machinery and the Industrial Revolution. Unlike popular misinterpretations, Hodgskin maintained a sincere commitment to working-class welfare whilst championing free-market principles. Positioned within the classical liberal tradition, this book traces Hodgskin's intellectual descent from Adam Smith, whilst documenting his even more stringent opposition to government intervention. Essential for students of economic history, political philosophy, and 19th-century thought, this volume clarifies Hodgskin's distinctive contributions to classical liberal theory and his often-misunderstood stance on industrial progress and worker prosperity.
