Présentation de l'éditeur

Every subject of study has its particular field of inquiry. Thus, mathematics arises from a study of form and number and includes, among other subjects, a fundamental knowledge of geometry and algebra. Physics, in a similar manner, investigates the general realm of matter and leaves to chemistry a more careful analysis of the elements and their compounds. Likewise, history concerns itself with the general development of mankind along political, industrial, and social lines; while civics deals with the more special study of government. In studying economics, we shall find that, in exactly the same manner, this subject further specializes in a field peculiar to itself and rests upon a basis distinct from that of every other science. The rapidly growing importance of economics and its vital connection with everyday life combine to make it highly desirable for all wide awake people to understand something of this science and to grasp clearly its fundamental characteristic. Economics arises from the study of wealth and investigates the problem of welfare. Of course welfare, from the standpoint of material well-being, is not possible without wealth. Therefore, in order to understand the objective basis of economics we must have a clear conception of the meaning of wealth. Wealth may be either material or immaterial.
