About this audiobook
"Principles of Political Economy" is a book by the British philosopher and economist John Stuart Mill. It was first published in 1848 and is considered one of the most influential works in the field of economics.
In this book, Mill sets out to provide a comprehensive account of the principles of political economy, which he defines as "the science which treats of the production and distribution of wealth." He covers a wide range of topics, including the nature of wealth, the laws of supply and demand, the role of competition, and the relationship between labor and capital.
One of Mill's main contributions to the field of economics was his advocacy for a laissez-faire economic policy, which advocates for minimal government intervention in the market. He argued that a free market, where individuals are free to pursue their own self-interest, would lead to greater prosperity and economic growth.
In addition to his economic theories, Mill also addressed social and political issues such as the role of women in society, the importance of education, and the need for democratic governance.
Overall, "Principles of Political Economy" is a seminal work in the history of economics and continues to be studied and debated today for its insights into economic theory and the role of government in the market.
John Stuart Mill
John Stuart Mill was an English philosopher, politician and economist most famous for his contributions to the theory of utilitarianism. The author of numerous influential political treatises, Mill’s writings on liberty, freedom of speech, democracy and economics have helped to form the foundation of modern liberal thought. His 1859 work, On Liberty, is particularly noteworthy for helping to address the nature and limits of the power of the state over the individual. Mills has become one of the most influential figures in nineteenth-century philosophy, and his writings are still widely studied and analyzed by scholars. Mills died in 1873 at the age of 66.
