Preface.

"This short treatise on Economics will, I fear, be understood only by the advanced student who has mastered the initial lessons in public management of Modern Capitalistic Society. I claim that it reduces to practice the lessons of Adam Smith, J. S. Mill, Prince Kropotkin, and Mr. Fleurscheim.

These writers present to the imagination a house with all its useful and ornamental furnishings; with suggestions for improving the internal and external arrangement of each article or item, with some improvement in the design and construction, but the windows are too small, and the door by which the investigator should enter has been overlooked and omitted.
