Chapter 1 in The Origin of Economic Ideas, 1989, pp 1-28 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Modern economics is a little over three hundred years old — the same age as the Royal Society for Improving Human Knowledge. Sir William Petty, whose favourite saying was vadere sicut vult,1 was a founder-member of each and published A Treatise of Taxes and Contributions in 1662, the year the Society received its Royal Charter.
