Summary "Principles of Political Economy, Vol. 1" by Wilhelm Roscher is a scholarly work that falls under the category of economic theory, likely written in the mid-19th century. This text serves as a foundational overview of political economy, emphasizing historical method as an essential approach to understand economic phenomena. It aims to bridge economic principles with historical context, examining the evolution of economic thought and practices over time. The opening of the work includes several important sections, such as the translator’s and author’s prefaces, which establish the intent of the text and its methodological significance. The author positions himself within the historical school of economics, arguing for the importance of historical context in understanding economic concepts. There is also a discussion of the various contributions to the field of political economy and the roles of personal interest and human nature within economic systems. The initial chapters outline fundamental concepts of goods, value, and economy, setting the stage for an exploration of how political economy functions within a historical framework. This comprehensive introduction indicates that readers can expect a rigorous academic exploration of political economy that emphasizes the relevance of historical perspectives in shaping economic theories and practices.
