In 1877, he was made an editor of The Economist and formulated plans with other experts to further the general understanding of economics. The most significant result of these plans was the present work. Similar books had already been published in Europe, but a work in English was long overdue. Concerned less with abstract theory and more with practical and historical issues, Palgrave gathered a distinguished group of international contributors, and the three volumes originally appeared in 1894, 1896 and 1899. A landmark in publishing, the work made the discipline of economics accessible to educated adults for the first time. Volume 3, covering N to Z, includes entries on opium, property, Ricardo, Smith, socialism, taxation, and wages.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Napoleon-Zunft\u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Political economy [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Political economy\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Political%20economy%20%5BKCP%5D%22\"\u003eKCP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266208747800,"sku":"9781108080804","price":54.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108080804i_2c5126f5-a2ff-4633-b54c-1daca8341dee.jpg?v=1696751782","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/dictionary-of-political-economy-paperback-9781108080804","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
