His most important work was The Economics of Welfare, published in 1920. The book was well reviewed in contemporary economic journals. It is not, by the author’s own admission, a light read. But it lives up to Pigou’s ideal of offering ‘instruments for the bettering of human life’. The most influential idea developed in it is the ‘externality’ which can be corrected by what was later termed a ‘Pigouvian tax’. Nicholas Stern, in his eponymous report on the diabolical economics of climate change, referred to Pigou’s writings and a carbon price is an example of a Pigouvian tax. Pigou foreshadowed some of the insights of behavioural and environmental economics, noting how excessive discounting of the future caused environmental degradation. Among other areas covered in this extensive book are business cycles and many policy issues such as taxation, monopolies and industrial relations. Pigou famously would tell his students ‘it’s all in Marshall’. For many aspects of economics, it could be said ‘it’s all in Pigou’. On its centenary, this is a book deserving of more recognition.","PeriodicalId":143586,"journal":{"name":"History of Economics Review","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123308971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This development sparked intense interest in ‘Indian affairs’ among politicians, pamphleteers and political economists who commented variously upon the transformation of a private corporation into imperial ruler. Adam Smith opposed the East India Company’s territorial expansion in India, but refrained from recommending nationalization of the Company’s possessions. His attention was diverted towards the abolition of the Company’s special trading privileges that delivered it from competition in the East Indies trade. At the same time, Smith highlighted the ‘three duties of the sovereign’ that a joint-stock operation without an exclusive privilege could ‘very successfully’ perform, namely, defence, justice, and public works. The provision of ‘public works and public institutions’ that ‘facilitate commerce in general’ and promote long-term economic growth was consistent with the ‘perfect system of natural liberty and justice’, Smith avowed. The East India Company continued to discharge these responsibilities until the Indian territories were transferred in 1858 to the British crown.","PeriodicalId":143586,"journal":{"name":"History of Economics Review","volume":"109 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131919039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
