Excerpt from The Economy of Consumption: An Omitted Chapter in Political Economy

To one who looks merely at the table of contents, it will probably be difficult to discover the plan or order of arrangement of the theoretical portion of this work. This apparent want of method is easily explained, and will not, it is hoped, be found in the text itself. My object being to deal with consumption as not merely the end of economy, but as one of the subjects of investigation and generalization comprehended in it, I have discussed only those doctrines of the Science that appear to me to be directly affected by this enlarged view of the subject, in as far as with my means of observation, and in a transitional state of industry, I have been enabled to take it. The plan of the work is more fully explained in the Introduction.
