Author Description

Excerpt from A Primer of Political Economy in Catechism Form, Vol. 1: Questions and Answers, Being a Sypnosis of Lectures on Political Economy as Delivered in the Pontifical College Josephinum The present volume affords a general survey of the science of Political Economy as it is taught in the Pontifical College Josephinum. The scope of the actual treatment in the lecture room was, of course, a far wider one than is apparent from the subject-matter herein contained. The arrangement of the matter in questions and answers was suggested to the author by practical considerations, to wit: the field of Political Economy is so wide and its details so various and ramified as to baffle even the very industrious and capable student when confronted with the ordinary textbook. The presentation of the subject-matter in the form of a Catechism, as here realized offers advantages to the student which even a very concise and good text book cannot rival. Besides, it delimits, to the advantage of both student and professor, in a convenient fashion, the subject-matter which the student is expected to have digested in the course of the lectures and which the professor may rely upon the student knows.
