Features: Outline of John Stuart Mill's Political Economy is an important work in the history of bourgeois economic thought. Marx specifically mentioned it in the preface to the second edition of Capital. Marx said, "The continental revolutions of 1848 also had an echo in England. Those who still demanded scientific standing and were unwilling to serve merely as sophists and sycophants for the ruling class sought to reconcile political economy with the requirements of the now irrepressible proletariat. Thus, lifeless hybridism, with John Stuart Mill as its most prominent representative, emerged. This heralded the bankruptcy of 'bourgeois' economics, a point eloquently explained by the great Russian scholar and critic N. Chernyshevsky in his Outline of John Stuart Mill's Political Economy."
