McCann on "Vanity"

. Charles R. Mc Cann

American Journal of Economics and Sociology, 2008, vol. 67, issue 3, pages 401-413

Abstract: The purpose of this essay is to identify certain points at which the presentation in "Vanity" appears incomplete or in error, especially as regards the interpretations of Mill and Spencer. It is shown that, while the authors have stated their case well, certain mischaracterizations, misstatements, and omissions seem to allow an alternative overall interpretation. However, another look suggests that, despite these discrepancies, the given interpretation is quite valid. Copyright © 2008 American Journal of Economics and Sociology, Inc..
