Reviews

'Anders Chydenius (1729-1803) has sometimes been called ""Scandinavia's Adam Smith"" for his publications in the 1760s. Until now it has been impossible to non-Swedish readers to judge whether this is a reasonable epithet. This collection of Chydenius's writings provides the answer.' - Bo Sandelin, University of Gothenburg, Sweden
