Excerpt from The Present Position and Prospects of Political Economy: Being the Introductory Address; Delivered in the Section of Economic Science and Statistic of the British Association for the Advancement of Science; At Its Meeting at Dublin in 1878 It is sometimes sought to get rid of this question in a very sum mary manner, and to represent those who raise it either as weakly sentimental persons who shrink from studying the conditions of wealth apart, because there are better and higher things than wealth; or as persons of confused intellect, who wish to mix together things which are essentially different in their nature. On the former of these imputations it is unnecessary to dwell. I am far from under valuing sentiment in its proper sphere; but I take up no sentimental ground on the present question. In denying the propriety of isolating economic investigation, I appeal to considerations derived from the philosophy of science. The second allegation is therefore the only one with which I am now concerned. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
