Reviews
"By holding on to the thread of commerce, Andrew Bibby walks us successfully through the labyrinth of The Spirit of the Laws. He shows how commerce is linked to the largest questions of politics and religion. This balanced and insightful treatment of the controversies surrounding the character and extent of Montesquieu's liberalism proves that the spirit of moderation should belong to the commentator as much as the legislator. Montesquieu's Political Economy will establish Bibby in the front ranks of Montesquieu scholars." - Diana J. Schaub, Professor of Political Science, Loyola University Maryland, USA
"Montesquieu's Political Economy advances our understanding of Montesquieu while also enlivening the resurgence of political economy itself. For Montesquieu, moral philosophy and economic science were not separate disciplines but perspectives that by the very nature of the subject must be combined. Andrew Bibby reminds us of how exciting political economy once was, and could yet again be." - John Tomasi, Founder and Director of the Political Theory Project, Brown Univeristy, USA
