Excerpt from Principles of Economics, Vol. 2
The length of the period that has elapsed since the appearance of the first volume of the English version seems to call for an apology on the part of the translator, and he tenders the same herewith. In doing so, he may, perhaps, be allowed to mention two extenuating circumstances. One is, that since the year 1903, when what has come to be known as the Fiscal Question was suddenly Sprung upon the country, the amount of time and energy at his disposal, after satisfying the claims of a very busy Department of the Public Service, has been greatly restricted. The other is, that a considerable portion of the translation had to be done a second time owing to the accidental destruction of a bundle of the completed manuscript during the translator's absence abroad.

As was explained in the Translator sP reface to the first volume of the present work, the plan of the original treatise involves a division of the subject-matter into four parts, namely (I.) Value in Exchange; (II.) Money; (III.) Production; and (IV.) the Kevenues of theS tate. The present volume disposes of Parts III. and IV., and so completes theE nglish translation of PIERSONS classical text-book on economics. The length of the period that has elapsed since the appearance of the first volume of theE nglish version seems to call for an apology on the part of the translator, and he tenders the same herewith. In doing so, he may, perhaps, be allowed to mention two extenuating circumstances. One is, that since the year 1903, when what has come to be known as the Fiscal Question was suddenly sprung upon the country, the amount of time and energy at his disposal, after satisfying the claims of a very busy Department of the Public Service, has been greatly restricted. The other is, that a considerable portion of the translation had to be done a second time owing to the accidental destruction of a bundle of the completed manuscript during the translators absence abroad. Of the present volume, only that part which deals with Production (i.e. the first 341 pages) was completed in time to permit of its being examined and revised by the late author himself. For the elucidation of such doubtful passages and terms as occurred in the remaining portion of theD utch version, the translator is indebted to one of Dr.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, a translation of Pierson's seminal 19th-century economics work, discusses the importance of production for national prosperity. Many at the time suspected that producing more goods than people could buy would be a disaster for society. The author rejected this view, arguing that production's benefits extend to societyâs poorest, making abundant production a key factor in reducing wealth disparities. The author also examines related topics like socialism and population growth, arguing powerfully for the importance of limiting population size. Timely and insightful, this book is a must-read for economics students and policymakers.
