Abstract: Abstract Part I of this book examines the process of formation of classical political economy, or the evolution of the ‘theories of surplus’. The reason for using either of these two terms will emerge from the contents of the book. As for the meaning of classical political economy itself, no further specific definition needs to be provided at this stage.
