Philip Henry Wicksteed (1844-1927), the late-19th and early-20th century English economist is known as a leading Dante scholar, but his synthesis of studies of Comte, Jevons, Aquinas, Aristotle, Ibsen, and many others, all came to bear on his writings in economics. For him there was no distinction between "economic" aspects of human life and "other" aspects. Wicksteed tried to get economists to take a broad view of their subject, bringing to economics humanitarian feelings, a critical eye, and the common sense of his tradition. This text contains the collected works of Wicksteed. Wicksteed published only three economics books but also contributed a number of important other papers and essays, such as his critique of "Das Kapital", his article on Jevon's "Theory of Political Economy", his various contributions to "Palgrave's Dictionary of Political Economy", and his paper "Scope and Method of Political Economy". These and other essays, along with book reviews, are here in the two-volume "The Common Sense of Political Economy". In addition, "Papers on the Meaning and Uses of Money" (1897) is featured, as is Herford's critical biography.
