"This new book examines Isnard's life and illuminates his major contributions to political economy. At the Origins of Mathematical Economics contains substantial extracts from a number of Isnard's publications presented both in English translation and in the original French." "The diverse issues covered in Isnard's work wilt ensure that this book will appeal not only to economists with an interest in the history of mathematical economics, but also to anyone interested in the emergence of political economy and in wider social thought during the Enlightenment."--Jacket.
