Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on Political Economy Professors. Mr. M'vickar, of Columbia College, New York, has edited this abridgment, and added to the text some valuable notes. Now it is the apprehension of the efi'ect of that work (which is as far as it goes well cal culated for a popular manual) that has induced the author of the following sheets to publish the results of some investigations on the subject which were originally intended for his private use. They are given to the Press with every respect for the talents of Mr. Ricardo and those of his distinguished supporters. We are in fact well convinced that if the principles of this theory (which are founded on circumstances completely con trasted to those that are peculiar to our own country) should be adopted as texts for lectures in our Colleges and Universities, it will greatly retard the progress of this important science among us.

This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on Political Economy From the Colonial Point of View "The English shipowner it is plain" (from a certain Board of Trade paper) "finds it cheaper to hire foreign labour. In 1853 only 4.4 per cent of the crews were foreigners. The proportion has risen until in 1894 it was 16.95 per cent of the whole, not counting Lascars and Asiatics, who have increased until they are about one-eighth or one-ninth of the entire number... The broad result is that in 1894 about two men did the work of seven on steam vessels in 1854, and that on sailing vessels two did the work of four. The decline has taken place chiefly among able seamen and apprentices." - The Times, 28th August 1895. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The matters treated in it would afford a very much longer list of items, but I would have the reader to be a student of the matters presented and discussed. A distinguished jurist of Pennsylvania, when he was a student, it is said, tore the indexes out of his copy of the Supreme Court Reports, and it is believed that he was all the better acquainted with the contents of the books. He in tended to be a lawyer, not a case lawyer. He took notice, not notes, charging his judgment and memory, instead of a note-book, with the matter of his studies.

Download or read book A Treatise on Political Economy written by Antoine Louis Claude Destutt de Tracy (conde) and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A Treatise on Political Economy"by Antonie Louis Claude Destutt de Tracy (1754-1836) is a foundational text of nineteenth-century, free-market economic thought and remains one of the classics of nineteenth-century French economic liberalism. Destutt de Tracy was one of the founders of the classical liberal republican group known as the Ideologues, which included Benjamin Constant, Jean-Baptiste Say, Marquis de Condorcet, and Madame de Stael.In this volume, Destutt de Tracy provides one of the clearest statements of the economic principles of the Ideologues. Breaking with the physiocratic orthodoxy of the eighteenth century, Destutt de Tracy denies that land is the source of all productive labor and focuses his attention upon manufacturing and manufacturers as the producers of utility and, therefore, of value and of wealth. Placing the entrepreneur at the center of his view of economic activty, he argues against luxurious consumption of the idle rich and recommends a market economy with low taxation and minimum state intervention.Destutt de Tracy sent the text of "A Treatise on Political Economy "to Thomas Jefferson in hopes of securing its translation in the United States. It was met with enthusiastic approval. Jefferson wrote to the publisher, "The merit of this work will, I hope, place it in the hands of every reader in our country." Jeremy Jennings isProfessor of Political Theory at Queen Mary, University of London."

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.

Download or read book Dictionary of Political Economy Vol 2 written by R. H. Inglis Palgrave and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-10 with total page 872 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dictionary of Political Economy, Vol. 2: F-M The works of the writers noticed throughout the volume are widely unlike in character. Some are the labours of practised scholars with a perfect command of the vocabulary they employ, enforcing the broad views which wider experi ence enables them to express. Others have been the jottings down of hard working but comparatively uneducated men, full of practical common sense and of shrewd observation, but sometimes exhibiting a deficiency in dialectic skill which prevents them from setting forth the truths they desire to inculcate to fullest advantage. Again, the history of science has often to record periods of abatement in energy, but after a time of quiescence the vigour of a living study invariably revives. Besides the historical articles and those describing the works of economic writers, the side of pure theory has also received due attention. Thus, to select merely the subject of Method, the volume contains articles on Graphical Method, Historical Method, and Inductive Method, Logic and Political Economy, and Method of Political Economy, Mathematical Method, and many other articles on similar subjects, and the Laws of Political Economy, giving a full explanation of this diflicult and often debated expression. Under the heading of Labour Exchange will be found illustrations of the, Labour Notes issued by associations under the influence of Owen and Place. This phase of an earlier movement, designed to bring all labour to a parity of value, is now almost forgotten. But in its time it bore an important part among the passing influences on current thought. I desire again to express my best thanks for many valuable suggestions, much kind help and useful information most liberally supplied. This has been to me a source of constant pleasure and a great advantage to the work; especially I desire to record that this volume has greatly benefited both as to its form and its substance through the special help of Dr. Bonar, Mr. Henry higgs, -mr. E. Schuster, and Mr. H. R. Tedder. Only the Editor can know the value of this assistance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Essays and Addresses on Economic Questions 1865 1893 written by George Joachim Goschen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-13 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays and Addresses on Economic Questions (1865-1893): With Introductory Notes (1905) It will be seen from my frequent allusions to the necessity for the rigorous employment of this method, especially in the case of statistics, what great weight I attach to constant, industrious dissection of figures. If in the perusal of the following pages it should be thought that occasional presentments of somewhat antiquated materials are an anachronism, I trust my plea may be accepted, that, as illustrations of economic analysis, they may retain some little value. When I wrote The Theory of Foreign Exchanges, I had read extremely little Political Economy except Aristotle and John Stuart Mill, and I have never been a regular student of the literature of the science. Such views as I have formed, and such work in this depart ment of knowledge as I have been able to place before the public, have been, in the main, the results of indi vidual study, observation, and analysis. I feel it incumbent on me, whilst taking the bold course of republishing addresses on economic subjects written and delivered for special occasions, and not as taken from a storehouse of well-thought-out and consistent theory, to make this confession and explanation, so that the reader may not expect such scientific or elaborate treatises as the title might imply.
