Sinopsis

Excerpt from Science Economic Discussion

One difficulty which is mentioned in two or three of the papers in the present series, was probably felt partly by every contributor to the economic discussion. It was to know how to present intelligible and valuable ideas in a few columns on subjects so large that any one of them might well fill the pages of an entire book. Although the invitation of the editor of Science to make the attempt was accepted with some reluctance, I believe that, on the whole, a larger measure of success has been realized than was anticipated. The result is this each paper is suggestive. And it would be unfair to the writer to suppose that it was intended to be anything else. Yet each opens up a line of thought to those who read it; and this will in many in stances prove more fruitful because it has not been tried to treat any topic exhaustively. To use another simile: sev eral paths have been described which lead into vast and ih adequately explored territories; every reader is invited to enter into them and to make discoveries for himself, in the hope and the expectation that the results Of labor thus ex pended will prove valuable and assist the progress of eco nomic science.

Reseña del editor

Excerpt from Science Economic Discussion

The series of articles published in this brochure are the result of a conference, held in the spring of this year, with some of the leaders for the 'new school' of economists. There are now published all of the articles arranged for, with the exception of one by J. B. Clark on the 'Limits of competition, natural and artificial,' which the press of college duties did not allow Professor Clark to prepare. It was the intention that under each of the heads chosen by the new-school men three articles should appear: first, one stating the views of that school; second, a criticism from a member of the orthodox school; third, a rejoinder by the writer criticised. It will be seen that this plan did not meet with perfect success, as some of the critics chose to attack upon somewhat different ground from that chosen by the original contributors. This change of ground was so great in the case of the article by Arthur T. Hadley in reply to Henry C. Adams, that his article is considered to fairly express the views of the old school upon the points in the paper by Richmond M. Smith, and no other criticism of Professor Smith was sought. The first of the series, by Edwin R. A. Seligman, was considered to be historical, and met with no adverse comments from those consulted in regard to it. To the article by Mr. Patten, a reply may be published at a later date.
