Political Economy: A Comparative Approach

by Barry Stewart Clark

Product Description This comprehensive overview of political/economic thought integrates political theory, sociology, and philosophy with economic analysis. Clark offers an introduction to the method and history of political economy, along with comparative studies of classical liberalism, radicalism, conservatism, and modern liberalism. Various issues, such as the role of government, inflation and unemployment, poverty and inequality, and education and culture, are given a comparative analysis from the perspectives of the four economic ideologies, and contemporary debates are traced back to their origins in the European industrialization process. About the Author BARRY CLARK is Professor of Economics and former Department Chairperson at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse.
