George Pryme, Dugald Stewart, and Political Economy at Cambridge
探讨19世纪初政治经济学如何被剑桥大学接受，聚焦首任教授乔治·普赖姆如何借鉴杜格尔德·斯图尔特的观点，将政治经济学包装为中立科学并纳入课程，但代价是忽略了马尔萨斯和李嘉图的最新理论。
This article considers the question of how and why political economy was accepted at English universities early in the nineteenth century, focusing on George Pryme (1781-1868), the first professor of the subject at Cambridge. The central argument is that he relied heavily upon Dugald Stewart, who had lectured on political economy in Edinburgh. Stewart denied the supposedly radical implications of political economy by insisting that it was a neutral, scientific inquiry. At the same time he preached the gospel of free trade without basing it on economic theory. By modeling his own lectures on Stewart’s, Pryme was able to allay the suspicions that the conservative Heads of Houses at Cambridge had regarding political economy, and to make it a part of the curriculum. He did so, however, at the cost of missing the more recent theoretical developments of Mathus and Ricardo.
