Recenzii

'Gregory Collins elegantly demonstrates that Edmund Burke, like his great contemporary Adam Smith, understood that commerce, properly conducted, can make individuals and communities not only better off, but better overall. Burke, like Smith, understood that political and economic thinking should intersect in a theory of moral sentiments.' George F. Will, Washington Post
'With care and rigor leavened by an engaging writing style, Gregory Collins has dramatically advanced our understanding of Burke's economic thought. This is an indispensable guide for all future Burke scholars.' Yuval Levin, National Affairs
'A thorough study of Edmund Burke's thought on economics in which every aspect is well-considered, every scholar answered, every point nicely phrased. This is a major contribution to Burke scholarship and to our understanding of the beginnings and principles of modern economics.' Harvey C. Mansfield, Harvard University and Stanford University

'A revelation.' David Brooks, The New York Times
