{ "item_title" : "The State Of The Science Of Political Economy Investigated (1838)", "item_author" : [" William Atkinson "], "item_description" : "The State of the Science of Political Economy Investigated is a book written by William Atkinson in 1838. The book is a comprehensive analysis of the political economy of the time, covering topics such as the distribution of wealth, the role of government in the economy, and the relationship between labor and capital.Atkinson argues that political economy is a science that can be studied and understood through empirical data and analysis. He criticizes the prevailing economic theories of the time, such as laissez-faire capitalism and socialism, and proposes his own ideas for a more equitable and just economic system.The book is divided into six parts, each focusing on a different aspect of political economy. Part one provides an overview of the history of political economy and its major thinkers. Part two examines the distribution of wealth and income, arguing that the current system is unfair and unsustainable. Part three discusses the role of government in the economy, arguing that it should play a more active role in regulating and controlling economic activity.Part four focuses on the relationship between labor and capital, arguing that workers are exploited under the current system and that they should have greater control over their own labor. Part five discusses the role of international trade and its impact on the economy. Finally, part six proposes a new economic system based on principles of justice and equality.Overall, The State of the Science of Political Economy Investigated is a seminal work in the field of political economy, offering a critical analysis of prevailing economic theories and proposing new ideas for a more just and equitable economic system.Wherein Is Shown The Defective Character Of The Arguments Which Have Hitherto Been Advanced For Elucidating The Laws Of The Formation Of Wealth.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
