Chapter 4 in The Political Economy of Robert Lowe, 2005, pp 38-51 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract It was ‘a great Economical Truth’, said Lowe, that ‘Education is no exception to the rules of Political Economy.’1 What he meant was that education should be subject to the principles of Adam Smith. And, like Smith, he contrasted free economical Scotland with politicised, endowment-ridden England. ‘In Scotland’, said Lowe, ‘they sell education like a grocer sells figs’.2
