In 1798 Robert Malthus (1766-1834), an Anglican clergyman irritated by the extravagant and anti-clerical claims of the French revolutionaries and their British friends that a new day had dawned, explained for the first time why the enrichment of the poor had not yet happened.

John Mueller argues that war, like slavery or the subordination of women, has become slowly less respectable in the past few centuries (Mueller 2003).

Once upon a time a great change occurred, unique for a while to Europe, especially after 1600 in the lands around the North Sea, and most especially in Holland and then in Britain. The change had been foreshadowed in the Hansa towns such as Lübeck and Bergen and Dantzig, and in<a href="http://www.deirdremccloskey.com/weblog/2011/06/05/chapter-19-of-the-bourgeois-revaluation-a-change-in-talk-made-the-modern-world/"> (more...)</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[[The chapter, like the last two, is too long now; split when finished] Rhetoric might ride as a little wave of talk upon deeper currents of biology or interest or the means of production. Much of social science and history for most of the twentieth century assumed so. I don&#8217;t think the assumption was correct.<a href="http://www.deirdremccloskey.com/weblog/2011/05/26/chapter-18-of-the-bourgeois-revaluation-the-new-values-triumphed-down-to-1848/"> (more...)</a>]]></description>

By the middle of the eighteenth century British men &#8212; especially the men &#8212; delighted in claiming prudence for their own behavior and a cynical supposition that others were motivated similarly.
