The Letters of Richard Cobden
Author: Anthony HowePublisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191568724
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 592
Book Description
The first of four volumes, this book provides a unique insight into the career of one of Britain's leading nineteenth-century politicians. Richard Cobden (1804-1865) moved rapidly from business success in Manchester into the worlds of local, national and international politics, providing a case study in social mobility in the Industrial Revolution. He travelled extensively, visiting the United States, the Near East, and the continent writing influential pamphlets, before undertaking the campaign against the British Corn Laws for which he remains best known. Drawing on material from Britain, Europe, and the United States, the letters are accompanied by notes and an introduction by Anthony Howe, explaining the unusual history of the letters and re-assessing Cobden's importance in their light. But the letters reveal not only Cobden the anti-corn law crusader, but provide us with a greater understanding of wider aspects of middle class politics and culture in their formative period in Britain and Europe. Together, these four volumes provide a unique source on British liberalism in its European and international contexts, throwing new light on issues such as the repeal of the Corn Laws, the British radical movements, the Crimean War, the Indian Mutiny, and the American Civil War.

The Westminster Review
Author: The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Social Science
Author: Harold KincaidPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0195392752
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 676
Book Description
The philosophy of the social sciences considers the underlying explanatory powers of the social (or human) sciences, such as history, economics, anthropology, politics, and sociology. The type of questions covered includes the methodological (the nature of observations, laws, theories, and explanations) to the ontological — whether or not these sciences can explain human nature in a way consistent with common-sense beliefs. This Handbook is a major, comprehensive look at the key ideas in the field, is guided by several principles. The first is that the philosophy of social science should be closely connected to, and informed by, developments in the sciences themselves. The second is that the volume should appeal to practicing social scientists as well as philosophers, with the contributors being both drawn from both ranks, and speaking to ongoing controversial issues in the field. Finally, the volume promotes connections across the social sciences, with greater internal discussion and interaction across disciplinary boundaries.

Pages : 322
Book Description
Addressing the critical issues that were to bring Richard Cobden (1804-1865) to the attention of Europe's political classes, this volume provides a timely reassessment of his influence on the development of nineteenth-century economic thinking. Focusing particularly on Cobden's advocacy of free trade and opposition to tariffs, the book explores the impact of 'Cobdenism' on the national and international stage, and considers his lasting legacy to economic liberalism. Offering a broad yet coherent investigation of the 'Cobdenite project' by leading international scholars, this volume provides a new and fascinating insight into one of the nineteenth century's most important figures.
