Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Political Economy There is a singular dearth of histories of political economy in the English language. The older works on the subject - McCulloch and Twiss - are valuable and suggestive; but strike the student of to-day rather by what they have not than by what they have. Blanqui's book is rather a history of industrial systems than a treatise on the history of economic science. Dr. Ingram's work is a very useful book, with a special value owing to its emphasis of the sociological point of view; while the new edition of Cossa, invaluable as it is, must be considered rather as a guide to the bibliography of Political Economy than a treatise on its history. All taken together leave the field still fairly open to the scholar who will undertake to give us a comprehensive treatise on the subject, and English literature is still far behind the German, for example, in this respect. In this branch of science, as in some others, moreover, the tone and method of a work are determined very largely by national peculiarities, and whenever a nation has made serious contributions to the literature of any subject falling within the scope of the moral or social sciences, its historians are nearly certain to represent a new point of view, to have a new and fruitful perspective. In no country for the last twenty years has more active and thorough intellectual work been done in the department of political and social science than in Germany, and German scholars have turned out in rapid succession valuable treatises in nearly every department of economics and finance.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Foundations of Political Economy "England is full of wealth, of multifarious produce, supply for human want in every kind - yet England is dying of inanition. With unabated bounty the land of England blooms and grows; waving with yellow harvests; thick-studded with workshops, industrial implements, with fifteen millions of workers, understood to be the strongest, the cunningest, and the willingest our earth ever had; these men are here, the work they have done, the fruit they have realised is here, abundant, exuberant on every hand of us; and behold some baleful fiat as of Enchantment has gone forth, saying, 'Touch it not, ye master-workers, ye master-idlers;none of you can touch it, no man of you shall be the better for it; this is enchanted fruit.'" - Thomas Carlyle (Past and Present).

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of Political Economy The successive French editions of the work have undergone numerous and important changes, - changes not so much in the general scope and spirit of the book as in the manner of presenting certain sections of the subject. The fundamental purpose has remained precisely the same: to give the reader a plain statement of the accepted principles of economics a summary of the unsettled problems of the science, and a clear, brief, and impartial outline of the various solutions that have been proposed.

Download or read book Elements of Political Economy Classic Reprint written by J. Shield Nicholson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Political Economy This work is intended primarily for the use of students. The leading principles are stated, as far as possible, without the introduction of controversial matter. At the same time, throughout the work indications are given of the points still in dispute and of the difficulties involved in the further development of the principles and theories of which an elementary exposition is given. The work is based on the "Principles of Political Economy" (3 vols.) by the same author. It is, however, not simply an abstract. In the first four books the material used has been almost entirely recast. In the last book it was thought better to omit certain topics altogether rather than attempt any further condensation of the argument. In order to keep the volume within reasonable limits the greater part of the historical matter which forms a characteristic feature of the larger work has been excluded, though the results of the application of the historical method have been retained. Little space also was available for the history of economic thought and doctrines. In the text, however, the importance of these and other omitted topics has been emphasised, and the student is recommended throughout to supplement his reading by reference to special works.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Political Economy The favourable reception of the Author's Guide to the Study of Political Economy, translated and published in England and America at the suggestion and under the auspices of the late Professor Jevons, paved the way for an English version of what was begun as a third edition of that work, though it has finally shaped itself into a completely new book. In preparing the following pages, enriched by the author with important changes and valuable additions, both he and the Translator have received much encouragement and aid from the appreciative reviews of the Italian original published in the Journal of the Statistical Society, and in Professor Edgeworth's Economic Journal, as well as from the paragraph devoted to it in the Nation (New York). Following a hint given in the last-named periodical, the Translator has compiled are Index of Subjects; he has also enlarged the Index of Authors, and has added, under the designation of Sources, important anonymous works, periodicals and collections frequently referred to.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Postulates of English Political Economy Mr. Bagehot left behind him some materials for a book which promised to make a landmark in the history of economics, by separating the use of the older, or Ricardian, economic reasonings from their abuse, and freeing them from the discredit into which they had fallen through being often misapplied. Unfortunately, he did not complete more than the examination of two of their postulates - the transferability of labour and capital. But these he treated with so much sagacity and suggestiveness as to give us great help in dealing with the others, and I have long been anxious that what he wrote about them should be published in a cheap form, so as to have a wide circulation among students.

This book was released on 2017-10-19 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The National System of Political Economy The work consists of four parts - the History, the Theory, the Systems, and the Politics of National Economy. It is important to bear in mind that all were written before 1844, and the fourth part in particular treats of political circum stances and of commercial policies which have now for the most part ceased to exist. The Corn Laws, the Navigation Laws, and the generally protectionist tariff of Great Britain were then still unrepealed; the manufacturing industry of Germany was still in its infancy, and the comparatively moderate tariff of the German States still permitted England to supply them with the greater part of the manufactured goods which they required.

A still briefer abstract of that paper was inserted in the Report of the Meet ing a, and the paper itself was not printed until June 1866 b. Since writing that paper, I have, over and over again, questioned the truth of my own notions, but without ever finding any reason to doubt their substantial correctness. I have therefore thought it needless to delay any longer submitting the theory to the oriti cism of those who are interested in the progress of Political Economy.

Download or read book National System of Political Economy Classic Reprint written by Friedrich List and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from National System of Political Economy Frederick List was born, the 6th August, 1789, at Reutlingen, a free city of Suabia. His early education was incomplete. At the Classical School he exhibited so little taste for its studies, that his father withdrew him; but as he showed equal indisposition to learn his father's business, he was subsequently left to shape his own education. This he did, however, to such purpose, that we find him, in 1816, holding an appointment in the Central Administration of Wurtemberg, in which he justified the confidence placed in him by a distinguished statesman, the Minister Wangenheim, who offered his young assistant, in the following year, the chair of Political Economy, in the University of Tubingen. List accepted this position. He tells us in the Preface to his National System, that the principle of free trade was one of the first encountered in his new career. "It seemed to me at first reasonable; but gradually I satisfied myself that the whole doctrine was applicable and sound only when adopted by all nations. Thus I was led to the idea of nationality; I found that the theorists kept always in view mankind and man, never separate nations.

Download or read book Elementary Political Economy Classic Reprint written by Edwin Cannan and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary Political Economy As the purpose of this work was mistaken by many critics when the first edition appeared in 1888, it may be well to take this opportunity of explaining that the word elementary' in the title must be understood in its proper sense, as indicating that the book contains the essential parts of political economy, not that it is intended for young children, nor even for ill-prepared candidates for examination who desire something to commit to memory. In writing it I had no such persons in view, but was thinking of the intelligent man of the world who desires to be told in small compass and ordinary language what the practically important part of the teaching of political economy is. I therefore tried to explain as directly as possible the general laws on which the material welfare of nations and individuals depends, and did not scruple to abandon both the traditional arrangement of subjects and the special terminology of the economists. Alterations, some of which were rendered necessary by the changes made by the British budget of i 894, have been made on pp. 142-145.Otherwise the present edition is an exact reprint of the first.
