The first volume of McCloskey’s revisionist history of economics in the West.
“Deirdre McCloskey’s unfashionable, contrarian, and compelling manifesto in favor of what she calls the bourgeois virtues starts with an uncompromising ‘apology’ for how private property, free labor, free trade, and prudent calculation are the font of most ethical good in modern society, not a moral threat to it.… She writes with wonderful ease. Her style is conversational and lively, sometimes even cheeky.”—Matt Ridley, Wall Street Journal
