Originally written for undergraduates, this posthumously published collection of lectures from 1884 tackles many of the misconceptions held by nineteenth-century economists.

Selected posthumously from Arnold Toynbee's lectures, this 1884 collection is one of the first scholarly treatments of the Industrial Revolution.
