Classical Economics

There is a school of thought in political economy known as classical economics, classical political economy, or Smithian economics. This school of thought flourished, particularly in Britain, in the latter half of the 18th century and the early to middle of the 19th century. It is generally agreed that Adam Smith, Jean-Baptiste Say, David Ricardo, Thomas Robert Malthus, and John Stuart Mill are the most influential theorists in this school of thought. The theory of market economies, which was developed by these economists, describes market economies as systems that are generally self-regulating and are regulated by natural rules of production and exchange.
