Book Description

Excerpt from Outlines of Social Economics This volume is especially adapted for study clubs, literary and debating societies, and high schools. It may be used independently or, if desired, supplemented with Gunton's "Principles of Social Economics" chiefly, and other works to which reference is frequently made. It is believed that the method of arrangement will be found very practical. Dividing the subject into twenty-four distinct lessons, while it does not forbid a different division when circumstances may require it, as in high school classes perhaps, makes it peculiarly well suited for clubs and societies holding weekly or bi-weekly meetings. By covering two topics each time, a club holding fortnightly meetings would complete the course in six months; so that this volume is a very convenient basis for a winter's work. School classes, which must make their work conform to the division of time by "terms," can easily subdivide or group these lessons according to their requirements. It should be clearly understood that the present volume is entirely complete in itself, and may be used without reference to supplementary text-books or other literature. At the same time, for the sake of those who wish to go more deeply into the subject, references have been given in connection with each lesson to appropriate chapters and sections in Gunton's "Principles of Social Economics" and various historical and economic works.
