- Summary:
- Primarily known for his work in England to improve sanitation and reform the Poor Laws, Chadwick labored in relative obscurity in his efforts to both add to and revise economic thinking. Ekelund, Jr. (economics, Auburn U.) and Price III (economics and legal studies, Oklahoma State U.) make the case here that he was actually well ahead of his time in his writings, anticipating developments at the intersection of economics and law that would only be considered by others in the late 20th century.
