Description

This scholarly work by Brian Cooper examines how classical political economy shaped perceptions of the family during the nineteenth century, challenging the traditional division between economic and domestic spheres. Drawing from novels, etiquette guides, and statistical sources alongside economic texts, the book traces the theoretical frameworks that 'normalised' family structures in England between 1798 and 1859. Cooper's analysis reveals the interconnections between Harriet Martineau's economic thought and Adolphe Quetelet's statistical methods, demonstrating how these intellectual traditions influenced contemporary social debates. Essential reading for historians of economic thought, feminist economists, and scholars interested in how economic theory shaped social institutions, this Routledge publication bridges the gap between intellectual history and gender studies whilst offering fresh perspectives on the relationship between markets and households during a transformative period in British economic and social life.
