What it is about
Volume 1 of nine: tales explaining the political economy of Smith, Malthus and Ricardo to people who would never read a treatise.
Context and history
Martineau outsold Dickens and taught economics to a whole British generation. **Warning: the catalogue holds volumes 1, 3, 4, 6 and 8 of NINE. Volumes 2, 5, 7 and 9 are missing.**
Editorial context, not a citable source: unlike the passages of the work itself, these statements cannot be checked against the corpus.
