Description: Critics of Capitalism by Elisabeth Jay, Richard Jay Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description By the start of the Victorian period Political Economy became associated with moral and political forces leading to an increasingly industrial and political society. This collection of readings from the critics of capitalism looks at the writings of Bray, Carlyle, Marx, Engels, Mill, Arnold, T. H. Green, William Morris and G. B. Shaw. Publisher Description By the start of the Victorian period the school of British economists acknowledging Adam Smith as its master was in the ascendancy. Political Economy, a catch-all title which ignored the diversity of viewpoints to be found amongst the disciplines leading proponents, became associated in the popular mind with moral and political forces held to be uniquely conducive to the progress of an increasingly industrialised and competitive society. Political Economy served in turn as the focus for critics of equally diverse moral and political persuasions, who sought to challenge the materialism of contemporary society and offer their own assessments of the profound social changes of the time. In the introductory essay to the collection of readings from such critics of capitalism, the editors review the principles of the early economists, the way in which these principles were appropriated and applied by their Victorian successors and the contrasting modes which critics of popular economic ideas assumed. Subsequent extracts from the writings of the Owenite Socialist John Bray, Carlyle, Marx and Engels, J. S. Mill, Ruskin, Arnold, T. H. Green, William Morris and G. B. Shaw, demonstrate both the breadth of the possible grounds for ideological opposition to the prevailing philosophy and the shifting nature of the debate as Political Economy itself was revealed as incapable of explaining or responding to the changing conditions of the 1870s. Headnotes to the extracts describe the genesis of individual debate and discuss distinctive stylistic features. Annotation in the form of footnotes and endnotes has been designed to gloss obscure allusions and arguments. In making more accessible the socio-economic writings of those authors now better known for their imaginative work, this volume will enable readers to reach a more profound appreciation of the central role such work played in developing the moral vision embodied in their more lastingly popular books and essays.
