迪尔德丽·麦克洛斯基将“希望”（2010年，第10页）定义为“向前看的美德，拥有一个项目”。如果她的四卷本作品《资产阶级时代》（The Bourgeois Era）的雄心勃勃可以作为证据的话，那么迪尔德丽（Deirdre）有着充分的希望，我们都因此而变得更好。该作品的目标是捍卫资产阶级在伦理道德和历史上的重要性。麦克洛斯基（McCloskey）过去的研究为她目前的宏伟项目做好了充分的准备。她早期的一些研究重点是人类历史上的一个重大转变：英国的圈地运动。早期，她还研究了一个学生感兴趣的问题-维多利亚时代英国工业的相对衰落是否是由于企业家活力的减弱。(She他认为活力是好的，但限制是有限的。）在她最近的大部分研究中，她关注的是价值、方法和文化问题，而这些问题大多数经济学家都刻意忽视。
Deirdre McCloskey defines “hope”(2010, p. 10) as “the virtue of forward looking, of having a project.” If the ambitiousness of her four‐volume project The Bourgeois Era is any evidence, Deirdre has plenty of hope, and we are all better for it. The goal of the project is to defend the bourgeois as ethically moral and historically important.McCloskey's past research has prepared her well for the current grand project. A focus of some of her early research was one of the great transitions in human history: the British land enclosure movement. Early on she also studied a question of interest to students of entrepreneurship–whether the relative decline of industry in Victorian Britain was due to the waning of entrepreneurial vigor.(She argued that vigor was fine, but constraints constrained.) In much of her recent research, she has focussed on issues of value, method, and culture; issues that most economists studiously ignore.
