Brief Lives: Economic Life and Political Life in the History of Economic Thought
This paper considers the relationship between economic life and political life as it has been articulated in four contexts in the history of economics: the ancient, the mercantilist, the classical and the neoclassical. It examines the changing ways in which these aspects of behaviour have been seen to be related, and how that relationship has taken on different forms in different epochs of economic thought. The analysis seeks to reveal some of the remaining questions that arise in the question of the relationship between economic man and political man.

Book Review: \Bourgeois Equality: How Ideas, Not Capital or Institutions, Enriched the World,\
Murray Milgate of Queen's College, University of Cambridge reviews \"Bourgeois Equality: How Ideas, Not Capital or Institutions, Enriched the World,\" by Deirdre Nansen McCloskey. The Econlit abstract of this book begins: \"Presents a social and intellectual history of how the ideology of European liberalism accorded a new liberty and dignity to commoners - including the bourgeois - and shaped the revaluation by society of trading and the betterment of technologies. Focuses on how a great enrichment happened, and will happen; how explanations from the left and right have proven false; how bourgeois life had been rhetorically revalued in Britain at the onset of the industrial revolution; how a probourgeois rhetoric formed in England around 1700; how England had recently lagged in bourgeois ideology, compared with the Netherlands; how reformation, revolt, revolution, and reading increased the liberty and dignity of ordinary Europeans; how nowhere before on a large scale had bourgeois or other commoners been honored; how words and ideas caused the modern world; how history and economics have been misunderstood; and how rhetoric made and can readily unmake the contemporary world.\"
