Essays on some unsettled Questions of Political Economy

"Essays on some unsettled Questions of Political Economy" by John Stuart Mill is a treatise on political economics published in 1844. Mill tackles fundamental questions about the nature and scope of economic science, proposing that it should be an abstract, deductive discipline grounded in laws of human nature. The work introduces what would later be called Walras' law and redefines political economy as an autonomous field with its own distinct subject matter: the laws governing production and distribution of wealth.
