- Summary:
- John Stuart Mill constructed the first serious radical economics. Mill saw laissez-faire capitalism as a transitional system from which the working classes might emerge with decent wages, control of their workplaces, and a chance at meaningful individual development. Mill's understanding of progress became the very foundation of radical reform.
