From the Preface: "'This little book endeavours to present the fundamentals of economics in their historical perspective, and to reduce economic theory to its simplest terms. The common human need for food, clothing, shelter, is evident to the least sophisticated ; so might be, so should be, the means whereby the need is met. In the past this business of production and distribution, and especially the part which finance plays in the matter, has been set aside as a study for the expert-heaven knows why, since there is no subject which more closely concerns every ordinary citizen. The approach through history (as distinct from that through classic theory) offers no difficulty either to the schoolboy or to the erstwhile puzzled student of modern economic conditions. A book of this type, like a modern machine, owes less to its constructor than to those workers on whose thought he builds. I dedicate it, in gratitude, to all whose earlier, more intensive labours in the field of economic history have made mine possible. My thanks are due to Sir Norman Angell, Dr. Hendrik van Loon, C. M. Waters, Sir Leonard Woolley, and their respective publishers for quotations used ; also to the illustrator, Miss Wilma Hickson, for her indispensable part in the book's production. H.C."
