The Nineteenth Century saw the emergence of political economy as an independent science in Europe, the USA and Japan and its growing popularity was favoured by an unexpected wealth of publications and manuals, in which the principles of economics were systematically explained and discussed and the connections between this science and other forms of moral, political and legal discourse were examined. Among the issues that found a large place in manuals were the methodology of economics, the divisions between pure and applied economics and between science and art, the boundaries of this science and its relationships with other moral and social sciences. The oppositions between laissez-faire and interventionism, the emergence of socialism, Christian social thought, and the conservative and neo-liberal reactions that they provoked, are all registered in the history of economic manuals. Although substantial differences may be identified among national cases, this book proposes a comparative study of the history of manuals of political economy in the most representative countries for the development of economics in the 19th and early 20th centuries demonstrating that their evolution mirrors the various stages of the 'professionalisation' of economics
