Reviews

Hollander's latest book offers a lively, sharp and authoritative appraisal of the development of utilitarian thought from the early eighteenth century to the late nineteenth century that discounts many prevailing interpretations...The result is a veritable feast that bears all the hallmarks of rigorous scholarship that historians have come to expect from the author. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this well-told account of ethical utilitarianism from John Locke to John Stuart Mill. - Mark Donoghue, History of Economics Review The value of this book...is in emphasizing the commonalities across different perspectives, and in so doing, offering a rich and generous history of utilitarian moral thought. - Tsin Yen Koh, Utilitas
