The political economy of Thomas Edward Cliffe Leslie (1826-82): a re-assessment

R. D. Collison Black

The European Journal of the History of Economic Thought, 2002, vol. 9, issue 1, 17-41

Abstract: Recent commentators have dealt mainly with Leslie's methodological work, but Leslie had produced papers on applied political economy for 25 years before he published one devoted specifically to the historical method. The present article concentrates on Leslie's use of that method and the results it enabled him to achieve — in dealing with issues such as economic aspects of militarism, forms of land tenure in Europe, gold supplies and price levels, fiscal reform and wage determination. Reviewing these results suggests that Leslie's work was not so much in contradiction with the neoclassical approach of Jevons and Marshall as complementary to it.
