Summary: "The effort made here is not to be minutely complete, but to be fuller than usual in the treatment of the important economists, without unduly slighting the rest... The treatment in this book of the more significant writers will, it is hoped, be found full enough, with some expansion of its contents in the classroom and supplementation by some readings in the original sources, to make possible an integrated year's course covering the major contributions of both the remote and more recent past." -- From the Preface
