Excerpt from The Scope and Method of Economic Science: An Address Delivered to the Economic Science and Statistics Section of the British Association at Aberdeen, 10 September, 1885
It is true, as I have said, that among Adam Smith's disciples there were not a few who rushed to the sweeping generalisations that the master had avoided. In England, in particular, the influence of the more abstract and purely deductive method of Ricardo tended in this direction. It was natural.

Excerpt from The Scope and Method of Economic Science: An Address Delivered to the Economic Science and Statistics Section of the British Association at Aberdeen, 10 September, 1885
I have chosen for the subject of the discourse, which by custom has to be delivered from the chair that I am called upon to occupy, the scope and method of economic science, and its relation to other departments of what is vaguely called 'social science.' If the abstract and academic nature of the subject, together with my own deficiencies as an expositor, should render my remarks less interesting to the audience than they have a right to expect, I trust that they will give me what indulgence they can; but, above all, that they will not anticipate a corresponding remoteness from concrete fact in the discussions that are to follow.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the history and methodology of the concept of economics, particularly in relation to questions of political economy and intervention. It begins by surveying the origins of the field, with a particular focus on the work of Adam Smith and the Physiocrats, and their foundational ideas of free markets. The author assesses these early thinkers' influence on the history of economic thought and traces their continuing effects on modern economic thought. The author also delves into the depths of debates on income distribution, property, welfare, and the industrial revolution, all of which are impactful topics in modern economics. The author argues that economics is not simply a collection of "hard and fast rules," but rather a dynamic and evolving field of inquiry that must constantly adapt to changing circumstances. In doing so, the author delivers a detailed analysis of the differences between classical economics, later Marxist economics, and modern economics. The author concludes by discussing the role of economics in modern society, highlighting its ability to inform policy decisions and its relevance to a wide range of social issues.
