Reviews

'The reader is guided to discover the connections between colonial government and profit-seeking back in England, between discourses of bodily humors and circulation of resources, and between national territorial disputes and notions of agrarian management. Harnessing Aristotle, Xenophon, and early moderns such as Erasmus or Elizabeth I in order to examine the shifting valence of sufficiency, Eklund grounds her argument in the rich vocabulary of the day, proving how modes of discourse not only reflect but help to shape thinking about economic progress in the period.' Jill P. Ingram, Ohio University, USA
