Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | "Peaches which the patriarchs lacked": natural history, natural resources, and the natural economy in France / E.C. Spary -- The "spirit of system" and the fortunes of physiocracy / Jessica Riskin -- The agricultural foundation of the seventeenth-century English oeconomy / S. Todd Lowry -- Epicurean and stoic sources for Boisguilbert's physiological and Hippocratic vision of nature and economics / Paul P. Christensen -- "The possibilities of the land" : the inventory of "natural riches" in the early modern German territories / Alix Cooper -- Nature as a marketplace : the political economy of Linnaean botany / Staffan Mu?ller-Wille -- Underwriting the oeconomy : Linnaeus on nature and mind / Lisbet Rausing -- Medical metaphors and monetary strategies in the political economy of Locke and Berkeley / C. George Caffentzis -- Credit-money as the philosopher's stone : alchemy and the coinage problem in seventeenth-century England / Carl Wennerlind -- Adam Smith's debts to nature / Margar While the history of early modern science is well-charted terrain, less has been recorded on the economic thinking of the same period, and less still on the intersection of these fields. Addressing this gap in scholarship, "Oeconomies in the Age of Newton" offers a detailed account of economic concepts of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The volume focuses on "oeconomics" - as "economics" was spelled at that time - which implies a view of economics as shaped by the Greek concept of the household. Examining a range of "oeconomic" curiosities, "Oeconomies in the Age of Newton" provides intriguing insights into a historical conceptualization of economic relations that differs markedly from the more narrowly defined economics of today.Contributors include: Luigino Bruni; C.
