The work aims to show how the \u003cem\u003eTreatise\u003c\/em\u003e and its vicissitudes gave rise to his economics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe work takes a broad approach to Hume and his writings on economic topics from the \u003cem\u003eTreatise\u003c\/em\u003e, through the\u003cem\u003e Enquires\u003c\/em\u003e and on to his political and economic essay. The work also explores Hume’s textual method and charts the move from abstruse philosophy to a Ciceronian engagement with social conditions and problems as developed in the \u003cem\u003ePolitical Discourses\u003c\/em\u003e. In addition, Hume’s extensive use of analogies is also brought into clearer focus than is found in other texts. Overall, the book will be of great use to both postgraduates and undergraduates alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54234614858072,"sku":"9780415748315","price":67.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415748315_b1611221-ace6-4476-b4e0-ae056c27c95e.jpg?v=1769007616","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/origins-of-david-humes-economics","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
