"Originally published in 1891 by MacMillan and Company."

First published in 1883, this book calls for a return to the traditional political economics outlined by John Stuart Mill.

Following up on his 1990 collection of essays Why Aren't Economists as Important as Garbagemen, Colander (Economics, Middlebury College, Vermont) reprints another 12 essays expressing his evolving ideas about the work and profession. They are intended for general academic readers, though he warns that economists will understand some parts than others, and to be fun to read. c. Book News Inc.
