Description

Volume IV of The Collected Works of Dugald Stewart, edited by Sir William Hamilton, presents Stewart’s celebrated lectures on political economy. In this volume, Stewart offers a systematic examination of the principles of wealth, industry, and government, reflecting his engagement with moral philosophy and the economic theories of his time. His clear and balanced analysis explores the relationship between economic activity and ethical considerations, characteristic of the Scottish Enlightenment tradition. Enhanced by Hamilton’s critical notes and editorial commentary, this volume is an important reference for students and scholars interested in the intersection of philosophy, political science, and early economic thought.
