Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Political Economy Definition of the Science. - We propose in the following treatise to give an outline of the science which treats of the Nature, the Production, and the Distribution of Wealth. To that science we give the name of Political Economy. Our readers must be aware that that term has often been used in a much wider sense. The earlier writers who assumed the name of Political Economists avowedly treated not of Wealth but of Government. Mercier de la Riviere entitled his work The Natural and Essential Organization of Society, and professed to propose an organization "which shall necessarily produce all the happiness that can be enjoyed on earth." Sir James Steuart states, that "the principal object of the science is to secure a certain fund of subsistence for all the inhabitants, to obviate every circumstance which may render it precarious, and to provide everything necessary for supplying the wants of the society." The modern continental writers have in general entered into an equally extensive inquiry. "Political Economy," says M. Storch, "is the science of the natural laws which determine the prosperity of nations, that is to say, their wealth and their civilization." M. Sismondi considers "the physical welfare of man, so far as it can be the work of government, as the object of Political Economy." "Political Economy," says M. Say, "is the economy of society; a science combining the results of our observations on the nature and functions of the different parts of the social body." The modern writers of the English school have in general professed to limit their attention to the theory of Wealth; but some of the most eminent among them, after having expressed their intention to confine themselves within what appears to us to be their proper province, have invaded that of the general legislator or the statesman.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Elements of Political Economy It sums up within itself the whole science of Political Economy. To settle it on truly scientific principles, to arrive at the true method of controlling it, demands the investigation and settlement of the mean ing of every single term in the science. Hume says, that the whole end of civil government is for the adminis tration of justice between man and man, so we may say, that the whole end of Political Economy is to regulate the currency.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of Political Economy In presenting to the American public an edition of Mr. Atkinson's work elucidating the fundamental principles of Political Economy, the Editor is impelled to accompany it by a brief introductory essay, bearing on the progress and present condition of the Science herein illustrated. Hasty and immethodical as the multiplicity and unceasing exaction of his cares and duties as Editor of a Daily Journal must render it, he trusts it will be found not without pertinence to the matter, nor unworthy of the consideration of the public. Political Economy is among the latest born of the Sciences. Mainly intent on the horrid game of War, with its various reverses and only less ruinous successes, it is but yesterday that the rulers of the world discovered that they had any duty to perform toward Industry, other than to interrupt its processes by their insane contentions, to devastate its fields, and ultimately to consume its fruits. And when the truth did pierce through their scarcely pervious skulls, it came distorted and perverted by the resistance it had met, by selfish and sinister influences, so that it had parted with all its vitality, and was blended with and hardly distinguishable from error. When it began to be dimly discerned that Government had a legitimate duty to perform toward Industry - that the latter might be cherished, improved, extended by the action of the former - legislators at once jumped to the conclusion that all possible legislation upon and interference with Industry must be beneficial. A Frederick the Great finds by experience that the introduction of new arts and industrial processes into his dominions increases the activity, thrift and prosperity of his People; forthwith he rushes (as Macaulay and the Free Trade Economists represent him) into the prohibition of every thing but coin from abroad, and the production of every thing at home, without considering the influences of soil and climate, or the practicability of here prosecuting to advantage the business so summarily established. The consequence is of course a mischievous diversion of Labor from useful and productive to profitless and fruitless avocations. But this is not the worst. Some monarch finds himself unable to minister adequately to the extravagance of some new favorite or mistress; so he creates in her favor a Monopoly of the supply and sale of Salt, Coffee, or whatever else is not already monopolized, and styles it a "regulation of trade," to prevent ruinous fluctuations, competitions and excesses! Thus private ends are subserved under the pretence of public good, and the comforts of the People abridged or withheld to pander to the vices and sustain the lavish prodigality of princes and paramours. From a contemplation of these abuses, pierced and uncovered by the expanding intelligence of the Eighteenth Century, the Political Economy of the Schools was evolved. In its origin a protest against existing abuses, it shared the common lot of all reactions, in passing impetuously to an extreme the opposite of the error it went forth to combat. From a scrutiny and criticism of the gross abuses of the power of Government over Industry, it was impelled to the conclusion that no such power properly existed or could be beneficially exercised. Thus the Science became, in the hands of the latest professors of the 'enlightened' school, a simple and sweeping negation - a demand for incessant and universal abolishing - a suicidal Science, demonstrating that to do nothing is the acme of governmental wisdom, and King Log the profoundest and greatest of monarchs. These conclusions would have staggered the founders of the school, and yet it is difficult to resist the evidence offered to show that they are legitimately deduced by their disciples from the premises those founders themselves have laid down. In the cases cited by Mr. Atkinson in this work of the comparative beneficence of Home Tr

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Science of Wealth: A Manual of Political Economy "The propositions brought forward are candidly stated, and great care is taken to make each demonstration so simple as to bring it within the grasp of those professing ordinary intelligence. We'Should think that the work would be found very useful to students and others seeking information on this important theme. Prof. Walker has held many public positions in Massachusetts and represented the State in Congress, is a man of wide experience in business, high personal character, and general cultivation." - Phila. Age. "It is a very complete treatise on the subject with which it deals." - Pittsburgh Leader. "We have never met with a book so well adage the use of young men who desire a thorough fundamental knowledge of the subject as the work at the head of this article... We bespeak for it a welcome from all men who desire to see clearly the distinction between truth and fallacy, and to build up intelligent popular convictions on the topics of which it treats." - American Journal of Education. "In it present form the book furnishes a clear and interesting statement of all the important facts and theories of the science. Mr. Walker is a skillful manipulator of figures, and altogether among the best statisticians of the times. We commend the work as being, by reason of its clearness of arrangement and style, one of the best books in Political Economy with which we are acquainted," - Boston Journal. "Mr. Walker is not unknown to the public as an author in this department of literature. The present volume presents his carefully prepared opinions upon Trade, Currency, and Finance, and will be a valuable manual of Political Economy for schools and for general reading." - Maine Journal of Education. "This work promises to be a standard, as was that first published in 1866. It is an intelligent presentation of the laws by which the Trade, Currency, and Finance of the country are governed, and of the principles which underlie commerce between nations. The study of Political Economy is one of interest to all thinking men; but works on the subject are sealed books to the masses, whereas with a work like this in hand, rough places become plain and difficulties seem to vanish." - Pennsylvania School Journal. "Dr. Amasa Walker is one of the most voluminous writers on the subject of Political Economy. The result of his long studies may be considered to be comprehended in the volume before us... There is much to commend in the chapters on Trades, Strikes, Currency, Taxation, etc." - Phila. Evening Bulletin. "I have examined it, like it well, and hope it may be generally introduced." - A. S. Welsh, President of Iowa State Agricultural College. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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 Guide to the Study of Political Economy To a reader fairly acquainted with the English Literature of Political Economy it will be evident why this translation of an Italian text-book has been undertaken. The sufficient reason is that no introduction to the study of Economics at all approaching in character to Professor Cossa's Guida allo Studio dell' Economia Politica is to be found in the English tongue. This work presents, in a compendious form, not only a general view of the bounds, divisions, and relations of the science, marked by great impartiality and breadth of treatment, but it also furnishes us with an historical sketch of the science, such as must be wholly new to English readers. Every economist would grant that we have in English the works of the father of the science, Adam Smith, and of not a few successors or predecessors who have made the science almost an English science.

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.

The greatest Of ethical teachers was also the greatest of social scientists, and by precept and example taught that man's contract obligations were not to be bartered for mere personal interests, no matter how tempting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles of Political Economy: With a Sketch of the Rise and Progress of the Science Dr Smith has not explicitly stated what was the precise meaning attached by him to the term wealth but he most commonly describes it to be the eu nual produce of land and labour. Mr Malthus, however, has justly objected to this definition, that it refers to the sources of wealth, before we know what wealth is, and that it includes all the useless products of the earth, as well as those which are appropriated and enjoyed by man. The definition now given does not seem liable to any of these objections. By confining the science to a discussion of the laws regulating the produc tion, distribution, and consumption of articles or pro ducts possessing exchangeable value, we give it a distinct and definite Object. When thus properly restricted, the researches of the economist occupy a field which is exclusively his own. He runs no risk of wasting his time in inquiries which belong to other sciences, or in unprofitable investigations respecting the production and consumption of articles which cannot be appropriated, and which exist independent ly of human industry.
