Description

Explore the complex relationship between economic theory and social structures in the nineteenth century. In Family Fictions and Family Facts, Brian Cooper investigates how classical political economy shaped perceptions of the market and the domestic sphere between 1798 and 1859. This study examines the assumption that the market and family were overlapping, mutually dependent realms defined by economic men and domestic women. By analyzing a diverse range of historical materials, including novels, etiquette books, statistical sources, and economic works, this book reveals how different forms of discourse worked to normalize the family structure. It provides a deep look into the population questions of the era and the role of figures like Harriet Martineau and Adolphe Quetelet. This work is a valuable resource for those studying the history of economic thought, feminist economics, and the social sciences.
