The Wheel of Wealth - Being a Reconstruction of the Science and Art of Political Economy on the Lines of Modern Evolution #252461

Now, when I projected this series, over a quarter Of a century ago, what I proposed to myself was, to treat the subject-matter Of each volume as a specialism,' and to keep each quite independent Of every other, except in so far as all alike would be written from the new standpoint, which under the title of A New Organon' I had explained at length in my first volume, Civilization and Progress,' and which was to be the keynote as it were Of the whole. I have therefore decided to issue this volume simply as an independent treatise on Political Economy, although I wish it to be understood that it comes in its natural place in the series as originally projected. The point, however, On which I desire to con centrate the reader's attention, and which will explain, besides, why I have included in a book on Political Economy an introductory chapter on 'the dangers of Specialism,' is thevfii preface.
