A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Prof. W. G. Sumner, of New Haven, Conn. addressed the Commission as follows: I have noticed that in the discussions which have taken place before this Commission there has been a constant reiteration of some false doctrines of theoretical political economy about wages. If there is to be any theoretical political economy admitted, it is worth while to have it correct. I have therefore thought that it might be proper for me, as a professional student of political economy, to appear here and read a paper setting forth the true relations between protective taxes and wages. Mr. Sumner assumes that, being a professor of political economy in a great institution of learning, he is competent to correct what he alleges to be a gross error in the public mind in regard to the relation between protection and wages. His reasons shall be carefully examined; but we must first ascertain how much deference we ought to pay to his opinions on the ground of his being a professor. What guarantee does that fact give of the accuracy of his doctrines? Let us see how it has been with others over whom Mr. Sumner could hardly claim superiority. First let us take Prof. Adam Smith, the very distinguished author of the Enquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations. He was as certain as Mr. Sumner of the correctness of his opinions; indeed, he was not the least bashful about intimating that the notions of all statesmen and lawgivers were childish in comparison with his. But Prof. J. R McCulloch (equally positive) declared that Adam Smith was in error upon more than eighty points, many of them of great importance.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
