Exploring the Colonialist Roots of Economics

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

William Petty (1623-87), long recognised as a founding father of English political economy, was actively involved in the military-colonial administration of Ireland following its invasion by Oliver Cromwell, and to the end of his days continued to devise schemes for securing England's continued domination of that country. It was in that context that he elaborated his economic ideas, which consequently reflect the world of military-bureaucratic officialdom, neo-feudalism, and colonialism he served.
