Nicholas Barbon (c.1640 - c.1698) was an English economist, physician, and financial speculator. Historians of mercantilism consider him to be one of the first proponents of the free market. In the aftermath of the Great Fire of London, he became an active London property developer and helped to pioneer fire insurance and mortgages as a means of financing such developments.

Economic history involves the study of economies or economic phenomena rooted in the past. Economic history analysis is undertaken using a number of historical methods, statistical methods and require the application of economic theory to historical situations and institutions. Topics include financial and business history, which overlap with areas of social history such as demography and labor history. Many early books on economic history described businesses, economies or industries, with relatively less emphasis on econometrics or theoretical analyses. Economics reference books deal with the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. As a social science, in economics the focus is on the behaviour and interactions of economic agents, and how whole economies work. Titles in our collection may be categorized into microeconomics, which analyzes basic elements in the economy, including individual agents (like households, firms, buyers, and sellers) and markets and their interactions. In macroeconomics the emphasis is on the economy as a whole (i.e. aggregated production, consumption, savings, and investment) and factors influencing it, including the use of resources (such as labour, capital, and land), inflation, economic growth, and the public policies influencing these issues. These include monetary policy (influencing interest rates) and fiscal policy (influencing expenditures).

Some archaisms were removed in order to improve the fluency of the reading (such as changing betwixt to between , hath to has, and mony to money), some names and places were modernised (such as Lock to Locke , when referring to the English philosopher, Orchadis to Orcades , and Sueden to Sweden ), and the excessive midline capitalisation often found in old texts was also transformed in today’s standard capitalisation. All these numerous editions were made in order to make the text more readable for today's reader while still being faithful to the author as much as possible
