Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Founders of Political Economy This little book is a result of studies which I have pursued since 1910, chiefly in the British Museum. The work was interrupted by the war, and I was only able to bring it to an end after the conclusion of peace. Unfortunately I was prevented from resuming after the war my investigations in London, so that as far as the beginnings of political economy in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries are concerned I could not go as deeply as I should have liked into the matter. I was obliged to base the first chapter of this book in the. First instance on reprints of early economic tracts which were obtainable in Warsaw. I have no intention of giving in the following pages a complete list of all theories which have been formulated since antiquity. My aim is a more modest - or perhaps a more ambitious - one. I have been endeavouring to find among the doctrines advanced more than one hundred years ago such theories as still to-day can help us to understand economic phenomena. Such - critical, and at the same time constructive - is the scope of this book. I have tried to separate the chaff from the corn and to put in evidence theories on which modern economic science can build.

Download or read book History of Political Economy in Europe Classic Reprint written by Jerome-Adolphe Blanqui and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-16 with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Political Economy in Europe To attempt a narration of these experiences in Europe from the earliest period - their successes and their fail ures - was the task that M. Blanqui proposed to himself in writing the history under consideration. The result of his labors has been of necessity imperfect, because the material for constructing a complete record does not exist; and because the restriction of the discussion of such material as is available, which the author at the outset seems to have prescribed to himself, namely, two small 12mo volumes (in the French edition), did not admit of the entering at any great length into details, or the accomplishment of much other than the presenta tion of the more important economic transactions in the history of Europe, and the extent of their influences in promoting or retarding the world's material progress and development. Nevertheless the book as it exists to day, with its record terminating in 1842, is in the highest degree instructive, and in a popular sense, exceedingly attractive. It is moreover, one of the comparatively few books published during the last half century which has attained a world-wide reputation, and its translation and present re-publication fills a place, which so far as the observation of the writer extends, is not supplied by any other work in the English language.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Lessons in Political Economy This book has been prepared for use in High Schools and Academies. In writing its pages, I have been Well aware that the object sought is the most difficult at which an economist can aim. Whether this effort to reach the minds of pupils of fifteen, sixteen or seventeen years has been successful, will only be learned on actual trial. In preparing a text-book for students in the period of life indicated, I have not thought it necessary to make the work childish.

This book was released on 2017-11-17 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of Political Economy in England, From Adam Smith to Arnold Toynbee In this critical estimate an attempt is made to express the general drift of subsequent Opinion rather than the particular views of the writer of this history, which does not put forward any pretensions to originality. The author has freely used all the sources of information and instruction which he has been able to discover; and, although he has embraced every opportunity, which seemed naturally to present itself without burdening the notes, of acknowledging his special indebted ness to particular authorities on certain points, he is under a general obligation which can only be fittingly discharged in apreface. He is indebted to all who have in any way, by commentary on the great writers of the past, or independent development of their theories, helped to elucidate the history of a branch of knowledge of which England may perhaps claim to be the classic home, although she has often, and more especially of recent times, experienced the benefits of suggestion and criticism at the hands of foreign writers.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Political Economy The Delegates of the Clarendon Press, having deter mined on issuing a series of manuals intended for educational purposes, have entrusted me with the duty of supplying a short treatise on Political Economy. The several topics discussed in this little work have formed the material for certain courses of lectures which I have given during some years in London and Oxford, though they are presented in the following pages in a condensed form, many historical and statistical illustrations being omitted. These illustrations, which should be supplied by the teacher, are of the utmost importance in the study of the science, for just as the historian who is ignorant of the interpretations of political economy is constantly mazed in a medley of unconnected and unintelligible facts, so the economist who disdains the inductions of history is sure to utter fallacies. Much of the merit of Adam Smith's great work is derived from the steady use which this philosopher made of history and statistics.

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.

The object of this report was confined to shewing the false state in which the science had been placed before the public mind, and was to have been followed by another work, the purport of which was to have been the elucidation of the true nature of the subject.

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).
