Excerpt from The Truisms of Statecraft: An Attempt to Define, in General Terms, the Origin, Growth, Purpose, and Possibilities, of Popular Government No one who is familiar with the writings of the best-known thinkers on political economy can have failed to be impressed with the lack of human interest, that the subject-matter of their treatises seems to afford to the popular reader, by reason of the abstract nature of the discussions involved. It has always seemed to the present writer that, inasmuch as the real starting-point in all such studies is man himself; his nature; his needs; and the means (in the shape of laws and administration) by which his activities, in obtaining those needs, are best encouraged and regulated; it would help to popularise the study of an otherwise dry subject, if writers could, as a preliminary to, or essential part of, their discussions, show the general bearing of it all on the people's personal interests, and so make them feel that sound economic views in their legislators would contribute to the domestic and personal happiness of everyone. If man and his needs, as a member of any community, be the true starting-point in such a study, his nature becomes a matter of the first importance; in order that his weaknesses may be guarded against, and his qualities, that make for the good of himself and his fellow-men, may be encouraged and guarded, for the general welfare.
