This is the second revised edition of the book, where Clark elaborates on the complex internal relationships between politics, sociology, psychology, and economic analysis within the discipline of political economy. It introduces research methods and current research status in political economy, examines the history of political-economic thought, and explores the impact of historical processes such as European industrialization on current debates.
