Excerpt from The Founders of Political Economy This little book is a result of studies which I have pursued since 1910, chiefly in the British Museum. The work was interrupted by the war, and I was only able to bring it to an end after the conclusion of peace. Unfortunately I was prevented from resuming after the war my investigations in London, so that as far as the beginnings of political economy in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries are concerned I could not go as deeply as I should have liked into the matter. I was obliged to base the first chapter of this book in the. First instance on reprints of early economic tracts which were obtainable in Warsaw. I have no intention of giving in the following pages a complete list of all theories which have been formulated since antiquity. My aim is a more modest - or perhaps a more ambitious - one. I have been endeavouring to find among the doctrines advanced more than one hundred years ago such theories as still to-day can help us to understand economic phenomena. Such - critical, and at the same time constructive - is the scope of this book. I have tried to separate the chaff from the corn and to put in evidence theories on which modern economic science can build.

Excerpt from The War and Its Lessons The American struggle for Nationality, which commenced with the downfall of Fort Sumter, marks an era in the history of civilization, as critical as any the world has ever witnessed. Those who are agitated by the actual contacts and immediate perils of civil war have scarce had opportunity to measure the immensity of interests involved; but those who are calmly examining the worlds Present by the worlds Past, and by all the principles and illustrations which facts, reason and experience may furnish, are solemnly and weightily impressed with the conviction that we are engaged in transactions which, for weal or wo, are to tell immensely on all that relates to morals, liberty, government and law. The epoch is one for which we need to arouse all the energies of the body, the intellect and the soul, that as true men of a trying age, we may be equal to the emergencies, which in the course of events, have fallen on our times. The part already enacted, has been upon no ordinary scale. At the very commencement of the conflict ominous clouds hovered over our political horizon. Wise men quaked because of fear, and strong men strung their nerves to a higher key, feeling that we were on the verge of a conflict which involved the interests of themselves, their country, their posterity, and all that related to the welfare of civil and religious liberty all over the broad earth. Traitors, with stealthy hand, had been loosing the cords and unbraiding the strands of our strength until it almost seemed as if the grand cable of American power had dwindled to a thread. But slender as it appeared, the central, close-woven braid of republican Nationality was not yet sundered.

Excerpt from Currency and Finance in Time of War: A Lecture I. The obligation attached to the Chair of Political Economy, to 'deliver from time to time a public lecture, ' seems onerous to the present occupant of the chair. To one who has principally been employed in cultivating the more abstract portions of the science it is not easy to gather from that field fruits ready for consumption by those who are generally more interested about results than methods. The difficulty is increased in time of war, partly because more is then expected of the economist. In quiet times the Art of Political Economy consists largely in abnegating art; playing the role of the wise physician who when consulted by one who has nothing much the matter with him has the courage to advise doing nothing. But in the fever of war time the easy course of laisser faire is evidently inadmissible. In one respect, indeed, theory shows to advantage in times of disturbance. It is prepared for occurrences which appear paradoxical to the practical man. For example, theorists had contemplated the possibility that, if gold were extruded by the abundance of paper-money in different countries, gold might fall below the level of notes in some countries; as is now the case in Sweden.
