J.S. Mill is a major figure in the mainstream classical economics. The authoress places him against the background of the historical development of the theory of political economy. She shows that Mill stands out among the members of that school of thought by offering a particularly well defined concept of the rational economic agent. Consequently his system of economics makes strong, or perhaps event too stringent, assumptions about human rationality on the one hand, and the rationality of the markets, on the other. The authoress also shows how Mill's assumptions influenced other authors in economics and how they were modified by later works of that field.
