For major works of many economists, multiple editions are found within The Making of the Modern World . Minor writings — political pamphlets and broadsides, government publications, proclamations, and ephemera —that are of as much interest to researchers and students are also available here in great quantities. The database also includes works on usury; demographic patterns in 18th-century England; the textile industry and technological advance; public policy; poverty and the work ethic; pre-Marxian socialism; Utopian socialism; and more.
