The Political Economy of Natural Law (1894)

The Political Economy of Natural Law is a book written by Henry Wood in 1894. This book explores the relationship between natural law and political economy. Natural law is the concept that there are certain laws that govern the universe and human behavior, and that these laws can be discovered through reason and observation. Political economy, on the other hand, is the study of how people allocate resources and how economic systems work.Wood argues that natural law should be the foundation of political economy. He believes that economic systems should be designed to promote the common good and that the principles of natural law should guide economic decision-making. Wood also argues that the government has a role to play in regulating the economy and ensuring that it operates in a way that benefits everyone.Throughout the book, Wood discusses a variety of economic topics, including property rights, taxation, and the role of the state in the economy. He also explores the relationship between economics and morality, arguing that economic systems should be designed to promote virtuous behavior.Overall, The Political Economy of Natural Law is a thought-provoking book that challenges readers to think deeply about the relationship between economics and ethics. It is a must-read for anyone interested in political philosophy, economics, or the intersection of the two.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
