Sinopsis

Excerpt from Science of Business: A Study of the Principles Controlling the Laws of Exchange

Nature, when viewed from an intellectual standpoint, presents to our minds the display of forces, countless in number, varied in aspect, and intricate in operation forces that control the motions of the planets and the stars, that, upon our own earth, have caused forests to grow in the carboniferous age, and formed the coal beds which propel the machinery of the nineteenth century; forces which clear forests and found cities forces which plant harvests and reap them; forces which establish governments and make a language, a literature, a society.

Throughout this great conflict, there are certain laws which hold true concerning all phenomena, two of which, the Law of the Direction of Motion and the Law of Rhythm, will respectively form the subject-matter of this and the following chapter.

Reseña del editor

Excerpt from Science of Business: A Study of the Principles Controlling the Laws of Exchange

The record of facts included in the following chapters was not originally compiled for publication, but rather to satisfy the spirit of personal inquiry. As new facts, however, came to light and arranged themselves alongside those already acquired, a body of truth was formed, which in the opinion of the writer, merited the name that this book bears, and which has induced him to submit his investigations to the public.

In order to facilitate the explanation of the facts afforded by the statistics of business, it was necessary that some guiding principles should be kept in sight, and to establish these principles the two chapters included in Part First were written. The laws there briefly considered, the Direction of Motion, and the Rhythm of Motion, have received universal acceptance from scientific men, and are great aids to help us to understand the phenomena of business.
