John Ramsay McCulloch (1789-1864) was a prominent Scottish economist and writer known for his significant contributions to the field of political economy. His most famous work is "The Principles of Political Economy" (1825), where he synthesized and popularized classical economic ideas, including those of Smith, David Ricardo, and Thomas Malthus. This is the first edition of his "The Literature of Political Economy." In this catalog, McCulloch systematically classifies and categorizes select publications related to political economy. The purpose is to provide scholars, researchers, and students with a well-organized and comprehensive overview of the literature available in the field during his time. The catalog covers a wide range of topics within political economy, including economic theory, economic history, policy studies, and more. Each entry in the catalog typically includes information about the publication's title, author, publication date, and a brief description of its contents.
