Book Description
This text covers such topics as value, money, agriculture, domestic and foreign trade, war, labour, interest rates, luxuries, and the various government policies that affect these subjects. The theme that unites these disparate subjects is liberty. As Condillac writes near the end of the work, the means to eradicate all the abuses and injustices of government is "to give trade full, complete and permanent freedom". In their preface to the 1997 edition, Shelagh and Walter Eltis wrote, "English language readers . . . will find . . . that the case for competitive market economics has rarely been presented more powerfully."

Book Description
Excerpt from Economic Civics This book is the result of a convection that an understanding of some of the elementary principles underlying our economic life is necessary to good citizenship. In times when there is so much opportunity for misunderstanding between those who are associated in doing one and the same part of the world's work, it is particularly important that as far as possible every pupil in our schools shall have a chance to know why and how certain things are done in industry and what remedies are proposed to cure whatever unpleasant features are prevalent. To put these laws and principles in language which the junior high school boy or girl can understand is not the easiest task in the world, even though questions of right and wrong can be made as clear to them as to older people. We believe, however, that such a study as is here undertaken not only is within their grasp but should be of tremendous help in enabling them to understand how the world works and how each one may do his part to the best advantage. To make sure that every pupil understands the machinery of government which must deal with the problems set forth here, chapters three to five give such a brief survey of our governmental organization as is necessary to make clear how the government's part in business must be done. Teachers who are certain that their pupils are thoroughly familiar with this can without harm omit these chapters. For reference work in connection with the study of these topics we may mention the following texts which in part at least are not too difficult for pupils of the age for which this book is intended: Ely and Wicker, Elementary Economics (Macmillan).
