Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Exposition in Outline of the Relation of Certain Economic Principles to Social Readjustment The connection between the economic and the sociological part of this dissertation requires a word of explanation. If there were perfect agreement as to the true principles of economics, it would only be necessary for the writer to postulate those principles, and then show that the possibility of effecting, by social action, a more equitable distribution of wealth than now prevails, was in accord with them, illustrating his thought by reference to some special line or lines of social readjustment. The fact being, however, that there is not entire agreement as to the true principles of economic theory, it becomes necessary, for one who would appeal to such principles in support of his social doctrine, to set forth that which he regards as the true economic theory. The outline of economic theory thus required, the writer has endeavored to keep within the bounds which its subordination to the purpose of the essay requires; and he has accordingly confined himself in the main to such a brief statement of the most general principles as should be consistent with an adequately suggestive presentation of the point of view. That he should be entirely successful in giving to each element of economic theory to which reference is made its due prominence, and no more, is hardly to be expected. In large measure he believes his economic theory to be in accord with that generally accepted by economists, and he has therefore felt at liberty to pass over the field very lightly, and to present in briefest outline so much of it as it seemed necessary to present at all; but at certain points - as in his explanation of interest, which differs somewhat from that of any other writer - he has felt obliged to speak with greater fullness. If interest is to tie justified, its relation to capital and to rent and wages must be understood. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
