The Elements of Politics

Henry Sidgwick

Chapter 1, Footnote #02
Political Economy, what


In my Principles of Political Economy (Introduction, ch. ii. §2) I have pointed out that the term ``Political Economy'' was originally used to denote an art rather than a science---the theory of right governmental management of national industry, and not the theory of the manner in which industry tends to organise itself independently of governmental interference.
