Excerpt from The Ricardian Rent Theory in Early American Economics If we speculate upon an explanation Of this neglect, two reasons suggest themselves. The first is the poor estimate of the learning and equipment Of the early American economists in comparison with their English contemporaries; the second is the dominance Of the Ricardian economics in America, especially after J. S. Mill's work gave it a new appeal and a new vogue among American readers. Perhaps these are but two aspects Of the same reason.

Excerpt from The Ricardian Rent Theory in Early American Economics The writings of the early American economists which are surveyed in this study have been strangely neglected by the later generations of American students. The article by Professor C. F. Dunbar, published in The North American Review in 1876, is the only previous American essay purporting to treat the subject. But Dunbar's article consisted almost entirely of a description of American conditions as explaining what he declared to be the utter "sterility" of American economic literature. The brief portion in which he spoke of writers is hardly more than a catalogue of names and titles compiled from previous reviews. Certainly in some cases, as Doctor Turner shows, and possibly in most, Dunbar was unacquainted with the originals. Even if he had read the books, he, as a representative of the classical school (which he believed had arrived at ultimate truths within the limits of its hypotheses), was not qualified to render a just estimate of the theories in question, however competent he was in the field of money and banking. Forty years have passed, and is it not indeed remarkable that our generation of economic students, so thoroughly grounded otherwise in the world's literature of economics, should know little or nothing of these, our own, writers, and most of that little through Dunbar's superficial and condemnatory article or through chance and usually disparaging references in the writings of English economists?

Tracing a seismic shift in American social thought, Jeffrey Sklansky offers a new synthesis of the intellectual transformation entailed in the rise of industrial capitalism. For a century after Independence, the dominant American understanding of selfhood and society came from the tradition of political economy, which defined freedom and equality in terms of ownership of the means of self-employment. However, the gradual demise of the household economy rendered proprietary independence an increasingly embattled ideal. Large landowners and industrialists claimed the right to rule as a privilege of their growing monopoly over productive resources, while dispossessed farmers and workers charged that a propertyless populace was incompatible with true liberty and democracy. Amid the widening class divide, nineteenth-century social theorists devised a new science of American society that came to be called "social psychology." The change Sklansky charts begins among Romantic writers such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and Margaret Fuller, continues through the polemics of political economists such as Henry George and William Graham Sumner, and culminates with the pioneers of modern American psychology and sociology such as William James and Charles Horton Cooley. Together, these writers reconceived freedom in terms of psychic self-expression instead of economic self-interest, and they redefined democracy in terms of cultural kinship rather than social compact.

Economics, as intellectual discourse, is not a settled body of principles; it is a heterogeneous discipline with numerous traditions, each based on a cluster of theories. Ekelund and Hebert, experienced researchers and educators, balance continuity and consensus in the evolution of economic theory with alternative points of view about the nature, scope, and method of economic inquiry. Their creative approach gives readers a feel for the thought processes of the great minds in economics and underscores key ideas impacting contemporary thought and practice. Building on the solid foundation of previous editions, the fifth edition of A History of Economic Theory and Method presents an updated and expanded examination of the essential theoretical elements of an economy and the numerous institutions that affect market behavior, beginning with the ancient Greeks and ending with the late twentieth century. It features an in-depth interpretation of the transition from classical to neoclassical economic thought, exposes some of the dissident voices raised against classical economic orthodoxy, discusses game theory, takes a close look at the origins of traditional microeconomics, avoids highly technical or graphically complicated material, and examines the advantages and disadvantages of economics achieving a scientific statusapplying mathematical and statistical techniques in economic inquiry. Chapters contain boxed material that enrich touchstone ideas or mark procedural disagreements and alternative approaches to economics.

Excerpt from Of Economic Theory Last spring a fellow economist asked what I expected to write next. I replied a book on progress. He then expressed regret that I was deserting economic theory and was kind enough to say that I was one of those who had aided the advance Of economic thought. TO this I said that my last book on economics was a fail ure, and having realized this I resolved to write no more books on eco nomic theory until I could see some attainable goal. We discussed this point but parted without agreement. Soon after I met a friend who said, I am interested in the referendum and the initiative. I am not, I replied, the American people Should decide what they want to do before they try to settle how to do it. What is the use, he retorted, of knowing what you want until you know how to get it. While I was thinking over this conundrum I had a conversation with another friend over the conflict within the Republican party. When our differences became manifest, he said that I was growing conservative while he was becoming more radical. I replied that the real difference was that he was revolutionary while I was evolutionary. These conversations led me to realize that concrete problems are Shaping themselves in a way that only better theory can solve. Public Opinion is not today what it was ten years ago when my Theory Of Prosperity saw light. There is a new setting to every national problem and a clearer perception Of each issue. Out Of it must come a thought development that will force a better industrial adjustment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
