      abstract = {This book studies nineteenth-century American  individualism and its relationship to the simultaneous rise  of the market economy as articulated in the works of Ralph  Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and William Graham  Sumner. The argument of the book is that these thinkers  offer distinct visions of individualism that reflect their  respective understandings of the market, and provide  thoughtful and insightful perspectives upon the promise and  peril of this economic and social order. Looking back to  Emerson, Thoreau, and Sumner furnishes valuable insights  about the history of American political and social thought,  as well as about the complexity of one of the most basic  and prevalent relationships of modern life: that between  the individual and the institutional complex of the  market.},
