| dc.description.abstract | "But the age of chivalry is gone. That of sophisters, economists and
calculators has succeeded " (Edmund Burke, 1790). Nevertheless, the economists and calculators had begun their work well before
the day when Burke made his comment. In recent times the old-established
view that the origin of political economy as a scientific and independent
discipline could be dated from the publication of Smith's 'Wealth of Nations' in
1776 has undergone considerable revision. | en |
