A paper written on the occasion of the one-hundredth anniversary of the publication of Mill’s Principles of Economics (1848) and the two-hundredth anniversary of Bentham’s birth, in which Viner painted the intellectual history of Mill as “in large part a history, first, of faithful discipleship, then of rebellion from, and finally of substantial return, to the Benthamite set of doctrines” (p. 360).
