Synopsis
Excerpt from A Manual of Political Economy
IN the following pages the writer has made the attempt to construct a skeleton of Political Economy upon the basis of purely physical laws, and thus to obtain for its conclusions that absolute certainty which belongs to the positive sciences. The casual association of its teaching with moral philosophy, is the circumstance to which is to be attributed that metaphysical bias, manifested by almost all Eco nomical writers, in their method of investigation, and which has con ducted them to such vague, hypothetical, and unsatisfactory results. It has, indeed, been made matter of set purpose to confine its exami nation of the laws of the production of the objects which constitute wealth, to such of them as are laws of the human mind, as may be seen by consulting the Essay of Mr. J. S. Mill On the Defini tion of Political Economy, and the method of Investigation proper to it. The issue, nevertheless, has been, that grossly material estimation of man, which disregards all that is truly human in his nature, and has brought upon Political Economy, thus worked out, the~name of the Dismal Science.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book seeks to build a foundation for Political Economy, the study of how humans use and distribute resources, grounded in the laws of nature. Challenging the prevailing notion that Political Economy is a moral science, the author argues that its principles are derived from the physical laws governing matter and force. The book delves into the interconnectedness of life, demonstrating how plants and animals are mutually dependent for their existence. It explores the crucial role of vegetation in the cycle of life, providing a basis for all other forms of life and a foundation for human sustenance. This exploration of the fundamental laws of nature forms a cornerstone of the bookââ â¢s argument. The author engages with the work of previous economists, particularly criticizing the theories of Ricardo on the occupation of land, arguing that these theories are based on flawed assumptions about human behavior and the laws of nature. The book ultimately offers a fresh perspective on Political Economy, one rooted in the physical world and the interconnectedness of life, challenging traditional views and offering a new framework for understanding human progress and the potential for prosperity.
