Wheel of Wealth

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Now, when I projected this series, over a quarter Of a century ago, what I proposed to myself was, to treat the subject-matter Of each volume as a specialism,' and to keep each quite independent Of every other, except in so far as all alike would be written from the new standpoint, which under the title of A New Organon' I had explained at length in my first volume, Civilization and Progress,' and which was to be the keynote as it were Of the whole. I have therefore decided to issue this volume simply as an independent treatise on Political Economy, although I wish it to be understood that it comes in its natural place in the series as originally projected. The point, however, On which I desire to con centrate the reader's attention, and which will explain, besides, why I have included in a book on Political Economy an introductory chapter on 'the dangers of Specialism,' is thevfii preface.
