Abstract

Few subjects are so generally misunderstood as political economy; and not only among the masses is ignorance of its simplest principles found, but even among those who aspire to be the leaders of public opinion. And yet, no branch of knowledge is more necessary for that large class of men whose province it is to direct or to influence the destinies of States by wielding the Executive and Legislative powers, by instructing the people, and by ministering in the way of commerce, to its wants. Our educational systems are much to blame for this defect.
