In The Concept of Economic and Political Doctrine, Franco Burgersdijk (1590 - 1635) parses through economics (household life) and politics with clarity, brevity, and precision. Among other things, he touches on nature of economy, head of household, conjugal society, parental society, servile society, imperfect family, acquisition of possessions, use of possessions, nature of the republic, monarchy and the monarch, education of the prince, virtue of the prince, causes of the principate, governance and laws, defending and beautifying the republic, and war and religion.

"Here, we will explain the special part, which adds to thsoe general precepts specific instructions for the proper management of a family or household, and of the Republic or state. For this part prescribes to each member of the family or citizen what is fitting to their condition and useful for preserving domestic and civil society."
