Summary

"An Inquiry into the Principles of Political Oeconomy (Vol. 2 of 2)" by Sir James Steuart is a study of how economies work, especially when it comes to money, trade, and taxes in countries that are free. The book looks at topics like money and coins and explains how they affect the prices of things people buy. It also explores how trade between countries can change when new coins are made. The author uses examples to teach about economics, so readers can understand how politics and the economy are connected.

About the Author

Sir James Steuart, 3rd Baronet of Goodtrees and 7th Baronet of Coltness, also known as Sir James Steuart Denham, was a prominent Scottish Jacobite and author of "probably the first systematic treatise written in English about economics" and the first book in English with 'political economy' in the title. He assumed the surname of Denham late in life; he inherited his cousin's baronetcy of Coltness in 1773.
