This book places him in the tradition of classical liberalism, where he belongs—as a disciple of Adam Smith, but even less tolerant of government power than Smith was.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eClassical Liberalism and the Industrial Working Class: The Economic Thought of Thomas Hodgskin\u003c\/em\u003e will be of interest to advanced students and scholars in the history of economic thought, economic history and the history of political thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40081100931169,"sku":"9780367532154","price":43.11,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/products\/7bbf8ef5a5536dcba0ce91a32a885c5d.jpg?v=1675088725","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780367532154-classical-liberalism-the-ind","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
