Elements of Political Economy by James Bonar is a foundational text aimed at introducing readers to the key concepts and frameworks of classical political economy. Written during the late 19th century, the book reflects the economic thinking of the time, rooted in the works of Adam Smith, David Ricardo, and John Stuart Mill. Bonar presents political economy as a science concerned with the laws of wealth—its production, distribution, and consumption
The text simplifies complex economic ideas for students and general readers, using clear language to explain the functioning of markets, the role of labor and capital, and the principles behind taxation and public finance. Bonar also explores how economic policies affect different social classes and examines the ethical implications of economic decision-making. While largely theoretical, the book provides practical illustrations from industrial economies of the time.
