About This Book

A domestic narrative follows a small urban household as its members receive a recently returned young scholar, negotiate anxieties about social standing and family finances, and adapt daily life to changing prospects. Complementing this story, a series of fables and short essays presents political-economy lessons organized under production, distribution, exchange, and consumption, treating topics such as large farms, currency, slavery, free trade, corn laws, rent, wages, profits, taxes, pauperism, emigration, labor combinations, and Ireland. Together the pieces dramatize and explain economic principles through character interactions and concise moral reflections.
