Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Civilisation in Some of Its Economic Aspects Some excuse seems to be needed for the issue of another elementary treatise on Political Economy; it may suffice to say that the present manual is primarily intended to assist such students of industrial history as desire to have some acquaintance with the modern science; but I venture to hope it may also prove to be a convenient introduction to the subject for the use of the general reader. The volume is complete in itself; but it supplements and is supplemented by two works in which I have had a share. In the Outlines q/englzslz Industrial History (cambridge Historical Series) an attempt has been made to Show how our present industrial system in this country has come into being; in the present volume I have endeavoured to describe how that system works. I hope in dealing with the History of Western Civilisation in forthcoming volumes of the Cambridge Historical Series to enter on some topics of great importance, such as taxation, which are not treated in this little book, and to trace the causes of the rise and of the decay of nations. The field which remains, even when so much cognate matter is relegated to other volumes, is large; it may be well to indicate the fashion in which I have endeavoured to cover the ground. The first part of this treatise is devoted to a general delineation of M odem Civilisation; I have attempted to bring -out the importance of material prosperity as an element in our social life, and to call attention to the special features which distinguish modern civilisation from that of ancient times. What Carlyle called the cash nexus is the most prominent characteristic; and the examination of this particular trait involves a brief consideration of the nature of money, and the part it plays as an instrument of competition. The pursuit of material wealth, as it is carried on in existing society, is more closely considered in the second and third parts. An attempt is made to examine the interplay of forces actually at work; and to Show the considerations which determine traders as to the terms on which they do business. Beginning with the simplest, if infrequent case, of the man who is engaged in selling articles of which he has a strict monopoly, we pass in turn to more complicated transactions, such as those of foreign trade, and the difficult questions which arise in the money relations of Labourers, Capitalists and Landlords.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Essay on Western Civilization: In Its Economic Aspects It has been my endeavour in this essay to bring out the main economic features in the growth and diffusion of the Civilized Life in Western Europe, to which so many peoples and countries have contributed; I have not aimed at portraying the development of each of the separate polities to which reference is made. Some of the difficulties that have to be faced, in engaging in such a task, have been obvious from the first, and others have been felt more clearly as the work progressed. The chief of these is due to the lack of information. The social and economic side of life was so familiar to their contemporaries, and was often so uneventful, that chroniclers have rarely thought it worth while to describe it particularly. We have to depend on incidental remark, rather than on detailed and deliberate description. This silence is especially perplexing in early times, and renders it very difficult for us to trace the precise connection between one primitive civilization and another.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Development of Western Civilization: A Study in Ethical Economic and Political Evolution Lest some readers may receive the impression that my view Of society is materialistic, I desire to say that it is not. I am con cerned here only with the problem of social evolution. The origin of the universe, the final destiny of the individual, the possibility Of new light from a supranatural world, are problems which do not concern this inquiry. This last, at least, depends on a social development until some fulness of time is reached. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
