Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Economic Synthesis: A Study of the Laws of Income
Similarly, sociology begins with the study of static phenomena -a study not at first very profound. J ohn Stuart Mill pointed out that Comte's writings on social statics were poor and incoherent in comparison with the work of the same author in the dynamic and evolutionary fields.1 Herbert Spencer frankly admitted how imperfect and erroneous were his first statical generalisations, and he found 'it necessary to correct them in essential particulars as a result of reiterated study of the dynamic laws of society and of nature.2 But not until quite recently has there been manifest a tendency to pass from the dynamic researches, which up till now have occupied almost the whole field of sociology, to positive and more elevated synthetic studies.3 Hence in sociology also a primi~ tive and imperfect statical stage gives place to a period of dynamical study, and upon the foundation of this latter there arises, in a yet later stage of development, a scientific and profound synthesis.

Excerpt from The Economic Synthesis: A Study of the Laws of Income
The present work, which now appears in a somewhat abridged form in English, may be said to sum up the researches of more than thirty years in the domain of economic science, and to form the complement and the theoretic crown of all my earlier writings. If, in fact, in my previous works upon Land Rent (1879), upon Capitalist Property (1889), and upon the Economic Constitution of To-day (1899), I have studied the specific laws of the individual historic phases of economic development, it has been my intention in this book to study the laws and the regular recurrences common to all the economic forms which have hitherto prevailed; to study, that is to say, the norms immanent in the economic order per se, independently of the different manifestations assumed by that order in the successive phases of history.
This simple statement suffices to show that the present book is in intimate correspondence with the acquirements of the economic thought of to-day, just as my earlier works reflected the prior phases of scientific mentality in the economic field. - If, in fact, in the past, economic research, dominated by the historical concept, loved to break up social evolution into its successive phases, and to throw the light of theory separately upon each of these, to-day, on the other hand, science aims at the attainment of a comprehensive grasp of the economic order in the totality of its integral manifestations, and endeavours to bring to light the universal and eternal substance underlying its varying developments. In other words, if, in the past, analysis and the historical method of treatment prevailed, to-day there tend to prevail synthesis and pure science.

Calificación del vendedor: 4 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive study of economics by examining universal and constant economic phenomena across different social, historical, and cultural contexts. The author argues that economic research must progress beyond the analysis of specific economic forms to identify the essential and enduring principles that govern all economic activity. The book explores various economic concepts, including income, production, distribution, and exchange, and examines how these concepts have manifested differently throughout history and across different societies. The author contends that by understanding the fundamental economic laws that transcend individual economic systems, we can gain a deeper understanding of the dynamics of economic development and the factors that shape economic outcomes. This book is essential reading for economists, sociologists, historians, and anyone interested in gaining a comprehensive understanding of the field of economics and its broader implications for society.
