John Stuart Mill, 1806-1873


British philosopher, Classical  economist, prophet of liberalism and public intellectual.

The particulars of Mill's life are too well known - as laid out in his famous Autobiography (1873) for instance - to be worth repeating here, so we will just rattle them out: son of the Ricardian economist James Mill, trained from an early age to be a genius, "lent" by his father to utilitarian philosopher Jeremy Bentham, became a utilitarian himself, followed his father into the British East India Company, broke with Bentham, had an existentialist crisis, turned to the doctrines of Saint-Simon and Comte, met Harriet Taylor and waited twenty years for her husband to die, became a public intellectual Whig politician, etc., etc.

J.S. Mill was an economist, a Classical economist following the footsteps of this father, James Mill, contributing articles on economics already in the early 1820s, while still a teenager, to the Westminster Review.  In 1844, J.S. Mill published his Essays on Some Unsettled Question , which he began writing over a decade earlier (around 1831), largely in response to the challenge of the Oxford-Dublin school.  It includes a methodological essay on the scope of economics (orig. published in 1836). 

John Stuart Mill's greater economic performance was his magnificent 1848 Principles of Political Economy, a two-volume extended restatement of the Classical Ricardian theory,  He believed  Ricardo's labor theory of value to be so conclusive that, in the beginning of a discussion on the theory of value, Mill confidently notes that:

"Happily, there is nothing in the laws of Value which remains for the present or any future writer to clear up; the theory of the subject is complete: the only difficulty to be overcome is that of so stating it as to solve by anticipation the chief perplexities which occur in applying it." (J.S. Mill, Principles, 1848: Book III, Ch. 1).

Thus putting a stone on the matter, and burying supply-and-demand theory for another quarter-century.  When Jevons's later grumbled at the "noxious influence of authority" preventing the development of economics, there is little doubt he was referring to J.S. Mill.
