ABSTRACT

Clough attempted to combat some of the ruling economic dogmas of his time. He went a step further than Carlyle in respect of his interest in political economy. He attempted to combat some of the ruling economic dogmas of his time. In July 1844 he said “I am considerably inclined to set to work at Political Economy, for the benefit of the rising generation and to see if I cannot prove ‘the Apostle of Anti-Laisses-faire”.
