Excerpt from Occam's Razor: The Application of a Principle; To Political Economy; To the Conditions of Progress; To Socialism; To Politics
The four essays which follow, though each is complete in itself, are but four aspects of a single thought, which it is hoped will be plain to any one who thinks it worth his while to read them through.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book argues that political economy is not, and cannot be, a true science. The author challenges the prevailing view, exemplified by the work of H.D. Macleod, that a science of wealth can be constructed by solely focusing on the principles of exchange. This argument places the book within a long and heated debate about the nature of economics and its relationship to morality. From the Mercantilists' focus on the accumulation of gold to the modern emphasis on free trade, the author traces the evolution of economic thought and argues that each iteration ultimately fails to grapple with the fundamental problem of intrinsic value. The author contends that true wealth encompasses much more than mere purchasing power. He exposes the dangers of a system that elevates the appearance of wealth over its true essence, ultimately leading to a devaluation of human endeavors and a rise in dishonesty and speculation. Through a nuanced exploration of credit, the book reveals how the pursuit of wealth through financial mechanisms like banking can create instability and harm the very people it seeks to benefit. This book offers a powerful critique of the prevailing economic thought of the late 19th century and reminds readers that true progress cannot be measured solely by material gain.
