Description
Excerpt from Man's Birthright: Or, the Higher Law of Property
About four years ago, David Reeves Smith, the author of a book entitled Ownership and Sovereignty, honored me with the re quest that I would use my experience, as a student of literature, to aid him in condensing his work and shaping it for publication.
At that time, I had given no special atten tion to the subject of political economy. In fact, I was prejudiced against what had been called the dismal science, which seemed to me to have no head or centre, and to have arrived, withal, at a sort of practical atheism and logical inhumanity. Mr. Smith insisted that he had straightened out the whole tangle to which I objected - that he had analyzed it until he had made the one ultimate generaliza tion, and found the one fundamental principle, underlying the entire realm of economics.
