Excerpt: ...the body politic, physicians and nurses are themselves part of the diseased organism.130. See Ahren's very beautiful exposition, Organische Staatslehre, 1850, I, 77. National economy ( Nationalokonomie =public economy); national economics ( Nationalokonomik =the science of public economy). The latter term was first proposed, in Germany, in 1849, by Uhde; the former was naturalized therein 1805: v. Soden, Nationalokonomie, 1805; Jacob, Grundsatze der N. OEk., 1806. In Italy, G. Ortes used it as early as 1774, in his Dell Economia nazionale, and in England it was employed, even in 1867, by Ferguson, History of Civil Society, III, p. 4. Holland. Volkshuyshoudkunde.

The term, Economie sociale has been used all the more in France (Dunoyer, Nouveau Traite d'Ec. soc., 1830), since recommended by J. B. Say, and employed by Buat (Des vrais Principes de l'Origine et de la Filiation du Mot Economie politique, in the Journal des Economistes, 1852.)131. Stein, Lehrbuck der V. W., prefaces his "Science of Public Economy" (pp. 329-358), by a "Science of Economy" (pp. 96-328), which, however, treats individual economies only as the elements of the national economy.
