Synopsis
Excerpt from The Principles of Political Economy
The character and scope of this treatise I have endeavoured to explain fully in the introductory chapter; it remains for me here to acknowledge my debts to the works that have chiefly aided me in composing it. After J. S. Mill's book, from which I first learned political economy, and on which the present work must be understood to be primarily founded, I believe that I owe most to Jevons' Theory of Political Economy, the leading ideas of which have been continually in my thoughts - though I have had occasion to dissent from many of Mr Jevons' particular opinions. I am also considerably indebted - in spite of still more fundamental disagreement - to Cairnes' Leading Principles of Political Economy: and also to the Economics of Industry, by Mr and Mrs Alfred Marshall, together with some papers by Mr Marshall on the theory of Value diagrammatically treated, which have been privately lent to me.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Embark on a thought-provoking exploration of economic theory and its practical applications with this insightful book. Delving into the heart of 19th-century economic discourse, the author navigates the shifting tides of economic thought, seeking to reconcile classical principles with emerging perspectives. This book traces the evolution of economic thought in England, from the controversial beginnings to its perceived status as a settled science and then back to a state of contention. It critically examines the works of influential economists like John Stuart Mill, David Ricardo, and Cliffe Leslie, shedding light on their contributions and limitations. The author delves into fundamental questions such as the scope and method of political economy, exploring the balance between scientific analysis and the art of policymaking. Key concepts like value, wealth, capital, and the laws of production are dissected, offering readers a comprehensive understanding of economic principles. Moving beyond theory, the book delves into the complexities of distribution and exchange, including international trade, money, interest, rent, and wages. It critically assesses the role of government in industry and the ongoing debate surrounding protectionism versus free trade. With a balanced and nuanced approach, this book provides valuable insights into the challenges of economic distribution and the ethical considerations that arise in a market-driven society. Ultimately, it underscores the importance of understanding economic principles in shaping informed policies that promote societal well-being.
