Summary: "This short book has been written at the request of the Fabian Society, whose members are felt to need something of the sort as a starting point for the fuller re-statement of economic doctrines in accordance with socialist principles of production and distribution. the need was considered to be the greater because of a growing tendency to confuse state economic planning with Socialism... The main criticism that I expect to meet, among Socialists as well as from opponents, is that the conception of economics here put forward involves taking into account many factors which either cannot be exactly measured at all, or, to the extent to which they are measurable, cannot be measured in a common scale with other factors, such as are ordinarily taken as the subject-matter of economic calculation." --Preface
