Notes On Political Economy Classic Reprint

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.

Excerpt from Outlines of Political Economy The two departments of sociology which have been most systematized are political economy or economics, and poli tics. Of these two, economics is the more capable of being systematized and is the more highly systematized - for reasons to be explained (p. The rest of sociology is as yet only imperfectly systematized. Much material has yet to be collected, and much Classification has yet to be attempted, before any considerable number of fruitful generalizations can be looked for. Economics, we have noticed, is differentiated from general sociology by the fact that the activities which primarily occupy its attention are those which have reference to wealth. Poli tics is distinguished similarly by the reference oi its data to government; but as some human action has reference at the same time to wealth and to government - public finance and factory legislation, for instance, being subjects which relate to both - economies and politics overlap to some extent.
