"This is the first edition of A Mirroure of Myserie (1557), a poem by the Catholic propagandist Miles Hogarde and probably presented to Queen Mary.

An Economic Philosophy of Production, Work and Consumption presents a new transhistorical framework of defining production, work and consumption.

This volume includes original essays written by top epistemologists that address this and closely related questions from a variety of new, sometimes unexpected, angles.
