Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Today's Economics N 0 previous acquaintance with the subject is assumed. Each question can be fully and satisfactorily answered, and every problem can be correctly solved by reference to the previous conclusions reached, to the explanatory material that precedes certain of the questions and problems, and to the hints that are inserted here and there to aid in the reasoning process. For those who desire more extensive reading, page references to commonly used elementary and advanced text books will be found at the end Of each chapter. Certain specialized works, as well as a selection of those Of a more popular nature, have also been listed. NO attempt has been made to treat purely technical matters or to discuss fine distinctions having only a highly theoretical significance. The aim has been, rather, to help the student see a meaning in commonplace things, to teach and stimulate him to reason, and to guide him towards a series of conclusions embodying those fundamental facts concerning our economic life that every citizen Should know and understand. For this purpose, newspaper clippings seem particularly pertinent and have been used extensively as case material. Although drawn exclusively from papers published in New York City and vicinity, these items are typical of economic news published constantly throughout the country.

Such merit as it may claim as introductory reading in economics for the business man, and for the student who may or may not expect to make a more thorough study of the science, arises very directly from the manner in which the text originated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Alphabet of Economics The following Alphabet grew out of an attempt to compile a glossary of economic and political terms for the use of readers of the New Age in general and of students of the system of National Guilds in particular. It developed, however, into a more or less systematic attempt to define economics in terms of the wage system, and, at the same time, to suggest an alternative to it. Though fragmentary, therefore, in appearance, it will be found to contain a consistent criticism of current. Economic theory, a consistent exposition, however inadequate, of the eco nomic theory held by the new school of National Guildsmen, and consistent Sugges tions, somewhat shadowy, it is true, towards a social reconstruction. It has long been realised that modern industry depends for its main motive upon the desire for gain and hence that profit cering, or production for the sake of profit, is an accurate description of it. It has long also been realised that in thus permitting production to be carried on from an irrele vant motive we were admitting an ethical contradiction into the practices of the State. At the same time, since economists, by means of their analysis of the factors of pro duction, found themselves unable to detect any intellectual defect in the system, the ethical defect was assumed to be either a passing phenomenon, to be remedied by education, or inherent in human nature. Nothing, they concluded, was wrong in the theory of economics hence nothing could be wrong in the practice unless it were due to factors outside economic control. Economic theory, in short, was assumed to be able to leave the court, where it had been charged with the crimes of modern industry, without a stain upon its character. To this, however, it was not possible that everybody always should agree; and, in fact, as the history of Socialist criticism shows, there have always been protestants and dissentients, who maintain that what is right in theory cannot be wrong in practice, and that what is wrong in practice must needs, therefore, be wrong in theory. With out attempting in this place to resume the course of such a criticism or to review the successive hypotheses upon which such criticisms have rested themselves, it may be said that the common sum of them is to be found and is assumed in the defini tions herein contained. The issue turns, it will be seen, upon the original analysis of the factors of production, from which, if we accept the current conception, all the con sequences of modern industry flow, and which, therefore, must be re-examined if we are to build our industry upon a new foundation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Economics: Lesson 1 Within the past century man 's increasing control over the forces of nature-his ability to make them werk for him - has enormously increased the production-of wealth in-civilized countries. The average money income of the English family of five persons is now per annum as against $375 in 1820, and owing to the greater cheap ness of commodities, this trill purchase nearly as much as would have purchased in 1820. In a word, the average English family is from four-to five times as well 05 as it was a century ago. Its income has from four to five times the former purchasing power. (see Mar shalt's Principles of Economics, 5th edition; page 751, note). This fact is of tremendous significance. It means that we have reason to hope that in the course of time an ever-increasing portion of our people will be released from the drudgery of mechanical manual labour and will be able to devote a large part of their time to public affairs, literature, art, science and religion. Rl'he utiliza tion of the elements in the service of man is giving us the necessary economic basis for a real democracy' in which all the citizens will be men of education and cul ture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of Economics The principal changes in this edition are the following: dividing the chapters so as to make 37 instead of 16 as in the fourth edition; elaborating two or three chapters which were little more than lecture notes; abridging two or three discus sions which belonged rather to monograph literature; dimin ished use of formal principles; increased use of concrete illus trations and a general softening of the style. Disproportio-n and inconsistency have been diminished, but not yet removed. The most significant single change is the starting of the Crit ique of the Present Order with Distribution rather than Pro duction, - a change which naturally led to a complete reorgan ization of this discussion.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Foundations of Economics In the year 1885, under the influence of Carlyle and llushin, I set myself to investigate the Condi tion-of-england-question, and with what I now see to have been singular good fortune I began on the problem of over-production. Is over-production the cause of Hard Times? I have come to a solution of that. Which satisfies myself. And while doing so I have had to recast most of the economic formulae. Some of them I have attached as untrue. Others I have replaced by new definitions, which seem to me to go a little deeper into the truth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classical Economics Today: Essays in Honor of Alessandro Roncaglia is a collection of essays that pays tribute to Alessandro Roncaglia whose research is based on Schumpeter’s dictum that good economics must encompass history, economic theory and statistics, and therefore does not generally take the form of elegant formal models that are applicable to all and everything. In this direction, Roncaglia is inspired by the Classical economists of the past and becomes a model for present-day Classical economists. A perceptible family air imbues the essays: all the contributors are friends of Roncaglia and see his personality and his interests as a common point of reference.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of Social Economics: Inductively Considered and Practically Applied, With Criticisms on Current Theories This is mainly due to the fact that the accepted theories belong to the hand-labor conditions of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, which have very little relation to the factory conditions of the nineteenth century. Nor should this be a matter of surprise, since it is entirely consistent with the law of industrial evolution. In its development society has assumed several distinct and essentially different industrial phases, which have each changed the economic structure of society, shifting the centre of industrial move ment and the point of view of economic study. Under feudalism, for instance, the land-owning class was the centre of all social and industrial movement. Economic policy therefore was considered from the standpoint of a land-owning class. With the development of manufacture and trade however, came a radical change in economic relations. Serfs became wage receivers, and the cultivation of the land passed to tenant farmers, which change transferred the distribution of wealth from the domain of authority, to that of economic law. By this transition the social basis of industrial prosperity was broadened, and the centre of economic movement was shifted from the industries required to supply the needs of a small land-owning class to those required to supply the demands of a relatively large commercial class, whose interests were more varied and extensive. In proportion as new conditions developed, the narrow paternal policy which was adapted to the old regime became inimical to the welfare of the community, and a reconstruction of economic doctrine from a new point of view became necessary. The efforts of two centuries to supply this need culminated in the Wealth of Nations, which really marks the advent of middle-class political economy, whose influence has practically moulded the economic thought of the present century.

This book was released on 2017-11-09 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Survey of Contemporary Economics, Vol. 1 The American Economic Association wouici regard with dismay an incapacity of its members - because of a too confining division of labor to conceive noble sentiments, judge of private duties, and assess the in retests of their country. These qualities rest upon more than technical expertise: they require a knowledge of human history, philosophy, and politics. But, more immediately, they require that the economist look beyond the regression coefficients, propensities, balances of accounts, and equilibria of forces within his own laboratory to the whole arena of economic life. The primary purpose of the present volume is to provide to the economist outside a particular field an intelligible and reliable account of its main ideas - both analytical devices and their practical application to public policy - which have evolved during the last ten or fifteen years. For most of the less abstruse and technical subjects, it is hoped that the qualified layman, the beginning graduate student, and the public servant will also read with profit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This reconsideration of the macroeconomics, microeconomics, methodology, and social philosophy of the classical economists has been a small gem on the history of economic thought, written in a way accessible to students, while having much to teach scholars. The reissue of this book twenty years after its original publication is a tribute to the enduring relevance of the questions raised during the formative period of economics and to the skill with which the author analyzes them.
