Manual Of References And Exercises In Economics PDF Download

Excerpt from Manual of References and Exercises in Economics, Vol. 1: For Use With,, Economic Principles The literature of economics is so extensive that a complete bibliography of some single chapters of a general text would fill a book. Many of the books cited below on special topics contain elaborate special bibliographies. General texts in economies are, with rare exceptions, not included here; the student can conveniently consult them on any topic by means of the index with which each of them is provided. Large use has been made, however, of the several volumes of selected readings in economics which have appeared within the past few years and which now are to be found in most college libraries. These are cited under brief titles as follows: Materials, for Materials for the study of elementary economics, by members of the department of political economy of the University of Chicago, 1913. Readings, Bullock, for Selected readings in economics, C. J. Bullock (ed.), 1907. Readings, Hamilton, for Readings in current economic problems, W. H. Hamilton (ed.), 1914. Source Book, for Source book in Economics, F. A. Fetter (ed.), 1912. It is more than questionable whether the student of an elementary text should be required to read extensively outside in the more or less controversial literature of the subject. This is especially true of the field of the principles, covered in Volume I, where careful drill in definition and clear thinking are more to be sought than voluminous reading. Accordingly, no attempt has been made to cite the many writings that have contributed to the development of economic doctrine in its details in the last half century. The names of the authors and of their writings are to be sought by the more advanced student of theory in the voluminous special literature of the subject. Where the conception developed in the text and the grouping of materials are along unconventional lines, the references in some cases represent a somewhat different point of view from that of the text, but are valuable for their suggestiveness. In other cases preference has been given to concrete examples embodying the principles presented. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
