In this book, Professor Hollander offers a critical yet sympathetic analysis of Mill's quest to accomplish thorough reform of capitalism in the interest of distributive justice while protecting the security of property and contemplating the potential evolution of capitalism into cooperative organization. Part I of the book serves as an introduction to the investigation of Mill's theory of economic policy; Parts II and III include Mill's primary policy recommendations; while Part IV adds a substantial \"Overview and Evaluation\" reviewing the author's main conclusions. A major concern is Mill's perception of the composition of the \"greatest number\" whose interests are to be considered by policy-makers; here arises his attitude towards British Imperialism. The author then undertakes thematic comparisons between the positions of Mill and those of Smith, Ricardo, Malthus, Marx and Bernstein; and closes with a rejection of the celebrated criticism of Mill's \"liberalism\" by Friedrich Hayek.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eProlegomena:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEconomic Theory and Policy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe 'Greatest Happiness' Principle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSocial Organization:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSocial Organization\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublic Policy:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Market and the State\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWelfare\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProperty Rights, Land Reform, and Public Finance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStabilization\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eOverview and Evaluation:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Utilitarian Maximand I: Value Judgments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Utilitarian Maximand II: On Imperialism and Related Issues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Intellectual Context I: Thematic Comparisons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Intellectual Context II: Hayek and Mill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAppendices:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn Exercise in Deductive Method: Agricultural Protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdministrative Recommendations: Public Health and Poor Relief\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn the Education Act 1870: The Denominational Problem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHayekian Interventionism Elaborated and Mill Parallels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Academics and advanced students in history of economics, history of political thought, political economy, political theory, moral and political philosophy, and policy studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA comprehensive study of Mill's theory of economic policy providing insights into his views on the primary dilemmas of the modern liberal state\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffers new insights into the Mill–Adam Smith and Mill–Karl Marx relationships\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn indispensable book for evaluating Friedrich Hayek's lament that Mill undermined \"liberalism\" and also sundry charges of bourgeois bias, elitism, paternalism, social engineering and even hypocrisy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Company, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47185349968112,"sku":"9789814663991","price":66.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789814663991_p0.jpg?v=1763691380","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789814663991","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
