Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speculations From Political Economy The following nine articles are Specula tions, by no means altogether recommenda tions. They are from Political Economy, tie. They have nearly all of them been suggested by considering mere propositions of Political Economy. Some of them are old, or given me by friends: some are, I believe, new: these many persons will set aside as unpracti cal or impracticable, as that is the approved word by which people indicate that an idea is new to them. The topics of the nine articles have been largely taken from those now under. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Political Economy Political eoonomy is, and has been for some years, in a transitional state, which is proof of its vitality. On the one side it is becoming more abstract, and on the other side it is becoming more realistic. The two movements are not in the least Opposed, unless in the sense that they act and react on each other incessantly to the great advance ment of the study. Much modern Economic science is being increasingly assimilated in form and method to the Natural sciences. In chemical and physical labora tories which can pretend to any distinction realistic researching never stops; but speculation as regards the fundamentals of chemistry and physics continue and must continue. In the great laboratory of the world a multitude of realistic researches remain to be made by economists, and it is only as they are made that the science Of economics will develop satisfactorily; but to attack the ultra-abstract and mathematical economists on that account, in the supposed interests of realism, is suicidal. Of this book Speculative results of a very general kind are the substance. I have to thank Mr. A. Fingland Jack, Lecturer on Economics and Commerce in the University of Manchester for his kind assistance with the proofs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1884 edition. Excerpt: ... / We have known many instances where this has been done in colleges and other institutions, highly to the satisfaction and advantage of all parties concerned. Ordinarily the search for new truth is considered a fascination. As the old proverb has it, it is the chase and not the game which attracts the hunter; and scientists generally find their specialties interesting, in proportion as there remains truth to be discovered and in proportion to their estimate of the probability that they will be successful in the pursuit of this undiscovered truth. But political economists of the past have aspired to add a new attraction to their study in pronouncing it perfect and complete, or at any rate very nearly so. Their pride in the possession of final truth has stifled their curiosity; and clothed upon with the armor of infallibility they have constituted themselves popes in the domain of science and hurled their anathemas at dissenters. Now that everything in political economy seems unsettled it is curious to read the expressions of those who, twenty, thirty and forty years ago, thought this branch of knowledge full grown and devoid of blemish. Nearly sixty years ago M'Culloch wrote these words in his Principles of Political Economy: Political Economy has not been exempted from the common fate of the other sciences. None of them has been instantaneously carried to perfection; more or less of error has always insinuated itself into the speculations of their earliest cultivators. But the errors with which political economy was formerly infected have now nearly disappeared; and a very few observations will suffice to show that it really admits of as much certainty in its conclusions as any science founded on fact and experiment can by any...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of Political Economy: With Some of Their Applications to Social Philosophy The appearance Of a treatise like the present, on a subject on which so many works of merit already exist, may be thought to require some explanation. It might perhaps be sufficient to say, that no existing treatise on Political Economy contains the latest improvements which have been made in the theory of the subject. Many new ideas, and new applica tions Of ideas, have been elicited by the discussions Of the last few years, especially those on Currency, on Foreign Trade, and or. The important topics connected more or less intimately with Colonization: and there seems reason that the field of Political Economy should be re-surveyed in its whole extent, if only for the purpose of incorporating the results of these speculations, and bringing them into harmony with the principles previously laid down by the best thinkers on the subject. To supply, however, these deficiencies in former treatises bearing a similar title, is not the sole, or even the principal object which the author has in view. The design of the book is different from that of any treatise on Political Economy which has been produced in England since the work of Adam Smith.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rationale of Market Fluctuations IN my endeavour to preach not political economy, but business, I may in these pages have run into a style of literature tacitly considered as immoral even by those who practice the very system I desire to preach. In one word, this book may be taken as encouraging speculation by recognising it. If so, I must accept the consequences without attempting beforehand to defend speculation except on its own apparent merits. That it has merits all must allow and the more readily will the value of speculation - its value to the nation as much as to the merchant - be admitted, if my readers will be so good as to separate in their own minds speculation from mere gambling. In the one case men conduct business with their eyes open; in the other they rush blindly into Operations without considering the pros and cons. This book attempts to show broadly the considerations to which a man's eyes should be open when engaging in such operations, and it cannot therefore be accused of encouraging mere gambling. National morality must not consider itself attacked. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Inquiry Into the Causes and Modes of the Wealth of Individuals, or the Principles of Trade and Speculation Explained: In Two Parts He may more particularly observe, that what is laid down in the following pages as the second, and as he conceives the distinguishing, principle of trade, is not noticed by Dr Adam Smith, who is properly regarded as the greatest authority on the subject of Political Economy, nor by any other writer so far as the Au thor is acquainted. With regard to the third, Dr Adam Smith justly observes The dealer who can employ his whole stock in one single branch of busi ness, has an advantage of the same kind with the work man who can employ his whole labour in one single operation. As the latter acquires a dexterity which enables him, with the same two hands, to perform a much greater quantity of work; so the former ac quires so easy and ready a method of transacting his business, of buying and disposing of his goods, that, with the same capital, he can transact a much greater quantity of business - which the Author conceives to be, with explanation, the chief reason on which that principle is founded, although not perhaps the sole.

Download or read book Modern Economic Thought written by Allan Garfield Gruchy and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-05-21 with total page 694 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Economic Thought: The American Contribution The movement to reconstruct economics was well established 'in the United States long before 1929. By 1914 Thorstein Veblen had unfolded the major features of his evolutionary or cultural ver sion of economics. In the years before the outbreak of World War I, Veblen's disciples, who then included Wesley C. Mitchell, Robert F. Hoxie, Walton H. Hamilton, and other less well-known econo mists, were enthusiastic in their defense of the new economics, which came to be known as institutional economics. 2 Academic inter est in the new version of economics became so widespread by 1918 that one of the round table conferences of the annual meeting of the American Economic Association of that year was devoted to the topic of institutional economic theory.3 By 1921 Veblen's institu tional economics appears to have reached the high-level mark of its popularity. In the years of prosperity which followed the depres sion of 1920-21 the movement to reconstruct economics continued to add new members to its list of advocates, but'it didnot slavishly follow the lines drawn in earlier years by Thorstein Veblen. Younger exponents of economic heterodoxy, such as John M. Clark and Rexford G. Tugwell, brought new emphases to the work of re vamping economic thought. These new members of the group of economists who were interested in modernizing economic science were prone to be somewhat less speculative and more concerned with immediate economic and social issues than was Veblen. They were more willing to envision economic reform within the limits of the existing private-enterprise system. Furthermore, they began to find various parts of the Veblenian interpretation somewhat outmoded. This is not to say, however, that these younger revisionists of the postwar period had developed a basic approach to economic studies which was different from Veblen's approach. On the contrary, their work was in its essentials within the Veblenian tradition. Like the pioneering leader of the..movement to revamp economics.

Download or read book Tendencies in American Economic Thought Classic Reprint written by Sidney Sherwood and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tendencies in American Economic Thought States there are at least two radically different periods. The second period begins about twenty years ago. It is marked profoundly by the influence Of German economic thought, chiefly through the return of American students from Germany, to study American economic life partly from a German standpoint, and to teach in our colleges the scientific principles learned abroad. It is marked likewise by the economic revolution wrought out in America during this time. The vast body of free land has become practi cally exhausted, and the changes introduced into economic life by machinery and steam transportation everywhere have nowhere had greater effect than in the United States. We have lost during this period the most Of that economic iso lation which made the first century Of our national existence unique in the world's history. Under the influence Of these new conditions, and Of the German economists, we are be coming more like the European countries in the develop ment Of our ideas. This paper treats Of the earlier period - the economic thought of the first century of the republic - when individual initiative had free and wide economic opportunity, and the mind Of the American economist, touched only by the practical reason of England and the speculative logic Of France, was virgin yet from the intellectual ferment Of Ger man thought.

This book was released on 2017-07-23 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian and Civic Economy of Large Towns, Vol. 1 Economists repudiate the moral ingredient as of vastly too ethereal a nature for their science - while moralists and divines on the other hand, are often found to recoil from Political Economy, as they would from a system of gross utilitarianism. From a late conversation with Mr Guiiot I could infer, that the affinity between these two subjects was still almost an entire novelty in F rance. In truth, it is nearly as little studied in England - though it be amply conceded by the philosophical statesman whom I have now named, that it is only in this quarter of speculation, where we shall meet with the solution of the most arduous problems in the art of government, or rather where the great pro blem of society can be fully and satisfactorily resolved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Economic Essays: Contributed in Honor of John Bates Clark More notable than these factors was the-return to the United States in the early eighties of a remarkable company of young scholars from post-graduate study in German universities. Their arrival and activity effected a virtual renascence in American economic thought. With others trained in this country lodgment was found in leading universities; student bodies gathered, and productive scholarship developed. The dominant characteristics Of the group were an avowal Of the historical inductive method, and an electlon In the main of concrete problems for inquiry. At Harvard, Taussig traced the growth and influence of American protectionism; at Yale, Hadley concerned himself with railway transportation, and Farnam with social problems; at Columbia, Seligman studied the theory and practice of public finance and mayo-smith pursued statistical Inquiries; at Johns Hopkins, Ely made pioneer studies of local taxation and of the labor 'movement; at Pennsylvania, James studied municipal economics and at Michigan, H. C. Adams became identified with fiscal studies. A statement Of principles proposed and accepted in the formation Of the American Eco nomic Association at Saratoga in 1885 as a general indication of the views and the purposes of the founders contained the declaration: While we appreciate the work of former economists, we look not so much to speculation as to the historical and statistical study of actual conditions Of economic life for the further development of political economy.
