“[Collins] is probably most important living authority on Burke outside of England today and in his new book Commerce and Manners in Edmund Burke’s Political Economy, he provides a thorough account of Burke’s thought on the issues with which the one-term MP but long-time civil servant grappled with from the Irish question to the British East India Company, from the American colonies to the terror of the French Revolution (the last of which he saw much clearer than any of his contemporaries.”
Paul Tuns The Interim

“[A]n excellent and much-needed analysis of Burke’s economic thought.”
Lauren Hall Rochester Institute of Technology
