Summary: Here is a book that answers an essential need. Simple, clear, and intelligible, it is a book that had to be written, and, now that it has been written, it deserves to be and will be read. Nowadays especially, when many works on economics read like treatises on hydraulics, and when not a few economists seem to take an actual pride in the obscurity of their language, it has really become necessary that someone return to the traditional conception of it as something more than a technique for specialists, as a subject concerned with an aspect of experience that ought to be treated as an integral part of our lives and hence as one in need of being understood again, if not by everyone, then at least by the educated and by the intellectual leaders of society.
