All three volumes contain historical introductions and collections of passages from Bentham's non-economic writings which illustrate his views on economics as a science and the problems of methodology. Volume 1 covers the period from 1787 to 1795. Volume 2 contains all the writings that are grouped around Bentham's bold idea and suggestion--the proposal of a "circulating annuity." Volume 3 collects all his relevant manuscripts written in and after 1801, showing a definite turning towards a theoretical and didactic treatment of economic life and thus reflect his growing conviction that it would be impossible for him to influence practice and policy.
