Book excerpt: Excerpt from Two Essays in Economics Many things as goods, chattels, lands, etc., have a use value to many persons in different degrees both as between the things themselves and also as between the several persons. Hence such things which are capable of delivery or transfer, become exchangeable between those persons to whom they have a use value, because of their greater utility to one or more than to others. 15t things, therefore, are said to have exchange value.

The sources from which they are taken and their dates are indicated in footnotes; and the thanks of the authors are due in several cases for permission to reprint. Most of the papers are addressed to professional economists, but the first two of Part I and the last of Part II may also be of interest to the general reader. Part I deals with several different topics, while Part II is concentrated on monetary problems. We have thought that it would be pleasant to bring our sheaves together into a common volume but each of us is, of course, responsible only for the opinions expressed in his own contribution.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on Political Economy We must remark, also, that the constant appear ance of money in every exchange has overturned and misled all our ideas: men have ended in think ing that money was true riches, and that to multiply it was to multiply services and products. Hence the prohibitory system; hence paper money; hence the celebrated aphorisrn, What one gains the other loses 5 and all the errors which have ruined the earth, and embrued it with blood.* After much research it has been found, that in order to make the two services exchanged of equivalent value, and in order to render the exchange equitable, the best means was to allow it to be free. How ever plausible, at first sight, the intervention of the State might be, it was soon perceived that it is always Oppressive to one or other of the contracting parties. When we look into these subjects, we are always compelled to reason upon this maxim, that equal value results from liberty We have, in fact, no other means of knowing whether, at a given moment, two services are of the same value, but that of examining whether they can be readily and freely exchanged. Allow the State, which is the same thing as force, to interfere on one side or the other, and from that moment all the means of appreciation will be complicated and entangled, This error will be combated in a.

This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ranking among the most distinguished economists and scholars of his generation, Jacob Viner is best remembered for his work in international economics and in the history of economic thought. Mark Blaug, in his Great Economists Since Keynes (Cambridge, 1985) remarked that Viner was "quite simply the greatest historian of economic thought that ever lived." Never before, however, have Viner's important contributions to the intellectual history of economics been collected into one convenient volume. This book performs this valuable service to scholarship by reprinting Viner's classic essays on such topics as Adam Smith and laissez-faire, the intellectual history of laissez-faire, and power versus plenty as an objective of foreign policy in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Also included are Viner's penetrating and previously unpublished Wabash College lectures. "Jacob Viner was one of the truly great economists of this century as both teacher and scholar. This collection ... covers a wide range with special emphasis on the history of thought. Today's economists will find [the essays] just as thought-provoking and as illuminating as did his contemporaries. They have aged very well indeed."--Milton Friedman, Hoover Institution "Jacob Viner was a great and original economic theorist. What is rarer, Viner was a learned scholar. What is still rarer, Viner was a wise scientist. This new anthology of his writings on intellectual history is worth having in every economist's library--to sample at intervals over the years in the reasoned hope that Viner's wisdom will rub off on the reader and for the pleasure of his writing."--Paul A. Samuelson, MIT "I am frankly jealous of those who will be reading Viner's essays for the first time, marvelling at his learning, amused by his dry wit, instructed by his wisdom. But although I cannot share their joy of discovery, I shall be able to savor the subtleties that emerge from rereading these splendid essays."--George J. Stigler, University of Chicago "This volume will be a treat for the reader who appreciates scholarship, felicitous use of language, and the workings of a great mind. The Wabash lectures are gems, and the introduction by Douglas Irwin contributes significantly to our understanding of Viner's accomplishments."--William J. Baumol, Princeton University/New York University Originally published in 1991. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Two Essays in Economics According to the common and general opinion anything is wealth which admits of ownership and has a money value. If a man possesses anything which has no money value; or, in common parlance is not worth a cent, it is not wealth. But if he can sell it, he infers that it is wealth although he may be ignorant of the cause of its value. As for instance, one may gather ginseng and sell it, and therefore regard it as wealth? although he may have no knowledge of its virtues - if indeed it has any. The word wealth as commonly used is the name given to each one of a class of objects, which answer to the above definition separately, and also, to the entire class collectively. As the word is often used it implies abundance, affluence, opulence, riches; but quantities are comparative, and under the definition (Webster) is quoted the expression, I have little wealth to lose (Shaks). Therefore, it is proper to use the word to designate a thing as wealth, or as belonging to a class of objects so called, whether the quantity or value of the article is great or small. The above definition requires that all objects, which are entitled to be called wealth, must possess a value common to them all, and which is called money value. This definition, although it is directly deducible from the actual use of the word, wealth, demands for its elucidation an explanation of the word value, and especially of money value. Anything which is either necessary, useful, or agreeable to a man has value to him. It has utility to him - utility being the state or quality of being useful (Webster). The man has a desire, or want (a demand) and the thing has a capacity to satisfy it (a supply). Therefore, the thing has utility to him; it possesses in itself a capacity to satisfy his desire or serve his purpose, and he furnishes the desire or purpose.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays in Taxation This book was originally published in 1895, and the favor -with which it was received has rendered necessary a new edition every two or three years. Owing partly to the pressure of other occupations and partly to a shrinking from the arduous labor which would have been required to keep the' presentation up to date, these successive editions contained but slight changes. Now however, after the lapse of almost eighteen years, the progress of the world, both in fiscal facts and in economic theory, has been so marked as to render any further delay impossible if the book is to remain a half-way satisfactory interpretation of actual conditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every Economics textbook today teaches that questions of values and morality lie outside of, are in fact excluded from, the field of Economics and its proper domain of study, "the economy." Yet the dominant cultural and media narrative in response to major economic crisis is almost always one of moral outrage. How do we reconcile this tension or explain this paradox by which Economics seems to have both everything and nothing to do with values? The discipline of modern economics hypostatizes and continually reifies a domain it calls "the economy"; only this epistemic practice makes it possible to falsely separate the question of value from the broader inquiry into the economic. And only if we have first eliminated value from the domain of economics can we then transform stories of financial crisis or massive corporate corruption into simple tales of ethics. But if economic forces establish, transform, and maintain relations of value then it proves impossible to separate economics from questions of value, because value relations only come to be in the world by way of economic logics. This means that the "positive economics" spoken of so fondly in the textbooks is nothing more than a contradiction in terms, and as this book demonstrates, there's no such thing as "the economy." To grasp the basic logic of capital is to bring into view the unbreakable link between economics and value.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Economic Studies It will be obvious to the readers of this book that a considerable portion of it, though hardly to be called fragmentary, is yet not all as complete as the author, had he lived, would have made it; and that; in the last two essays at all events, there are considerable gaps which he would certainly have filled up. Obviously, too, various other essays would have been added - probably two or three between those which are appear, certainly many on subjects which would naturally have followed the last and least perfect of all the papers, that on "Cost of Production." Indeed Mr. Bagehot is known to have stated that his economics studies would have worked out into three district volumes, one of which would have been biographical. Again, no careful reader can fail to perceive that there is a certain amount of redundancy of statement in these pages, as well as omission; and this was inevitable, for in preparing his finished writings for the press, the author's practice was cut away as well as to add much, - a day which I was not imprudent enough to attempt to discharge for him.

Book excerpt: At a recent meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, it was reported that a ghost was haunting the deliberations of the assembled global elite - that of the renowned social scientist and economic historian, Karl Polanyi. In his classic work, The Great Transformation, Polanyi documented the impact of the rise of market society on western civilization and captured better than anyone else the destructive effects of the economic, political and social crisis of the 1930s. Today, in the throes of another Great Recession, Polanyi’s work has gained a new significance. To understand the profound challenges faced by our democracies today, we need to revisit history and revisit his work. In this new collection of unpublished texts - lectures, draft essays and reports written between 1919 and 1958 - Polanyi examines the collapse of the liberal economic order and the demise of democracies in the inter-war years. He takes up again the fundamental question that preoccupied him throughout his work - the place of the economy in society - and aims to show how we might return to an economy anchored in society and its cultural, religious and political institutions. For anyone concerned about the danger to democracy and social life posed by the unleashing of capital from regulatory control and the dominance of the neoliberal ideologies of market fundamentalism, this important new volume by one of the great thinkers of the twentieth century is a must-read.

Book excerpt: 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.
