Bourgeois Towns: How Capitalism Became Ethical, 1600-1800, a book in progress by Deirdre McCloskey is the second of a planned four (the first, The Bourgeois Virtues: Ethics for an Age of Commerce was published in 2006 by the University of Chicago Press, and widely reviewed). She asks how Northwestern Europe, and England in particular, moved from admiration for the aristocratic values to admiration for the bourgeois values. N.B.: Notes and citations for the online draft version of Bourgeois Towns are available on request.

Deirdre N. McCloskey is Distinguished Professor of Economics, History, English, and Communication at the University of Illinois at Chicago; Professor of Social Thought at Academia Vitae, Deventer; and Professor Extraordinary, Department of Economics, University of the Free State, Bloemfontein, South Africa
