Synopsis

Walter Bagehot's Economic Studies is a detailed discussion of English political economy as it was influenced by economists of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. As former editor-in-chief of The Economist, Bagehot reveals an intimate knowledge of the factors that define England's economy. He explores the ideas of economists like Adam Smith, Thomas Robert Malthus, and David Ricardo; he then applies many different approaches to economic studies in the final chapters entitled "The Growth of Capital" and "Cost of Production." British journalist WALTER BAGEHOT(1826-1877) was an early editor of The Economist and was among the first economists to discuss the concept of the business cycle. He is also the author of The English Constitution(1867), Physics and Politics (1872), and The Postulates of English Political Economy (1885).

Obviously, too, various other essays would have been added probably two or three between those which here appear, certainly many on subjects which would naturally have followed the last and least perfect of all the papers, that on Cost of Production .I ndeed Mr.
