Ted McCormick (Author)
Ted McCormick is Professor of History and Fellow in the School of Irish Studies at Concordia University in Montreal. His research connects the histories of science and technology, empire and colonialism and political economy in early modern Britain, Ireland and the Atlantic world. He is the author of two academic monographs: William Petty and the Ambitions of Political Arithmetic (Oxford, 2009) and Human Empire: Mobility and Demographic Thought in the British Atlantic World, 1500-1800 (Cambridge, 2022). Each was awarded the John Ben Snow Prize for the best book by a North American author on British history before 1800 (in 2010 and 2023, respectively). He has published extensively in academic journals and edited volumes, and written for The Conversation, The Chronicle of Higher Education and Slate.Read more about this authorRead less about this author

Description
Arguing that demographic thought begins not with quantification but in attempts to control the qualities of people, Human Empire traces two transformations spanning the early modern period. First was the emergence of population as an object of governance through a series of engagements in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England, Ireland, and colonial North America, influenced by humanist policy, reason of state, and natural philosophy, and culminating in the creation of political arithmetic.

Second was the debate during the long eighteenth century over the locus and limits of demographic agency, as church, civil society, and private projects sought to mobilize and manipulate different marginalized and racialized groups – and as American colonists offered their own visions of imperial demography. This innovative, engaging study examines the emergence of population as an object of knowledge and governance and connects the history of demographic ideas with their early modern intellectual, political, and colonial contexts.
