The book investigates the many ways thateconomic and moral reasoning interact, overlap and conflict both historicallyand at present. The book explores economic and moral thinking as a historicallycontingent pair using the concept of economic normativities. The contributorsuse case studies including economic practices, such as trade and finance andtax and famine reforms in the British colonies to explore the intellectualhistory of how economic and moral issues interrelate.
