Focusing on the European Enlightenment movement with a special emphasis on Spain, this volume sheds light on how both male and female figures working in production are represented by novels, plays, economic tracts and in the press. Literary scholars, historians, and economists analyse how those portrayals are related to the history of economic thought, 18th-century economic discourse, and enlightened Political Economy. With an epilogue by Deirdre McCloskey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThomas Apolte— Historical and Theoretical Groundings— Male Protagonists of Trade and Industry: Of Businessmen and Entrepreneurs —Female Protagonists of Production —Economic Protagonists of both sexes—Robinsonades—Protagonists of Agriculture and the Influence of Physiocracy—The Literary Liberalism of the Bourgeoise .\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51044559126871,"sku":"9783631880579","price":45.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/protagonists-of-production-in-preindustrial-european-literature-1700-1800-male-and-female-entrepreneurs-craftspeople-and-workers-9783631880579","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
