About the Book John Stuart Mill originally wrote the Principles of Political Economy, with some of their Applications to Social Philosophy very quickly, having studied economics under the rigorous tutelage of his father, James, since his youth. It was published in 1848 in London and was republished with changes and updates a total of seven times in Mill's lifetime. It became the leading economic textbook in the English-speaking world for the rest of the century. His methodical and thorough treatment of economics made his work a text-book for more than a generation, and largely determined the scope of most of the treatises of his own and the succeeding period, even of those written by independent thinkers. Principles was intended to modify the abstract and sometimes cold- hearted classical political economy. Though his introduction of an historical method did not advance the subject greatly, his perception of the limits to the applicability of abstract-deductive analysis was important. His attacks on the cult of wealth, his concern with the problems of growth and development, his treatment of the question of population and his sympathy with the working man all reflect his humanitarian approach. His analytical ideas on money, international trade and the dynamics of distribution have all been highly praised. On the role of the State in economic life, he struck a judicious balance between his defense of individual freedom and the recognition of a need for some State intervention, in cases such as that of infant industries.
