(This early work by Richard T. Ely was originally publishe...)
This early work by Richard T. Ely was originally published in 1884 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'The Past and the Present of Political Economy' is an academic work and contains chapters on 'The Attractions of Economic Orthodoxy', 'The Old School', 'The New School', and much more. Richard Theodore Ely was born on 13th April 1854, in Ripley, New York, United States. Ely began his academic career as a professor and head of the Department of Political Economy at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, where he worked from 1881 to 1892. During this period, Ely co-founded the American Economic Association and served as the group's secretary. He stood as President of the organisation between 1899 and 1901. The Association still titles its annual keynote address the 'Richard T. Ely Lecture' in recognition of his services to the field. Ely published many works on politics and economics, including The Labor Movement in America (1886), Elementary Principles of Economics (1904), Property and Contract in their Relations to the Distribution of Wealth (1914), Russian Land Reform (1916), and many more.

(This book, written in the late 19th century, came during ...)
This book, written in the late 19th century, came during the notorious Gilded Age in America, where many Americans were frustrated with the immense wealth that a few were able to make as a result of poor labor laws and conditions. As the preface puts it: “THE importance of those phases of American life with which the present work deals, is no longer likely to be called in question. The labor movement treats of the struggle of the masses for existence, and this phrase is acquiring new meaning in our own times. A marvellous war is now being waged in the heart of modern civilization. Millions are engaged in it. The welfare of humanity depends on its issue. I do not claim to have written a history of the labor movement in America. I offer this book merely as a sketch, which will, I trust, some day be followed by a work worthy of the title, “History of Labor in the New World.” In the meantime, I shall be abundantly satisfied if this more modest effort accomplishes two chief purposes which I have set before me as a goal. The one is to show that the material furnished to the historian by the movements of the laboring classes in America is interesting, instructive, and withal not devoid of the pathetic and picturesque. The other is to convince my readers of the vastness of our present opportunities. While America is young and our institutions and even our habits of thought are as yet plastic to an unusual degree, we have advantages which are not likely to recur in a near future. It is still in our power permanently to avoid many of the evils under which older countries suffer, if we will but take to heart the lessons of past experience, and seriously endeavor to profit by the mistakes of others; and surely this is wiser than to repeat their folly. The present crisis in our history is a time when either optimism or pessimism is easy; but both are dangerous. The potentialities for good or for evil are grand beyond precedent, and it rests with the living to say what the future shall be. There is enough that is alarming to excite us to vigorous action; there is enough that is promising to encourage our best efforts with the brightest hopes.”

(Excerpt from Property and Contract in Their Relations to ...)
Excerpt from Property and Contract in Their Relations to the Distribution of Wealth, Vol. 2 We have seen the advantages of private property. Socialists frequently claim, however, that these advantages of private property simply emphasise the disadvantages of those who have no private property, making helpless dependents of the latter. It is conceivable that even if it is necessary that many people should be permanently without the advantages of private property, its advantages would nevertheless outweigh the disadvantages, even for the propertyless. But it is pertinent to ask the question, Can we not universalise private property and confer upon everyone the advantages of private property? Why should we not be able to universalise property as we have universalised education? While it is admittedly a more difficult undertaking, it is by no means hopeless, except in the case of the incompetent who form the sad "rubbish heap" of humanity; and it may be maintained that even they are better off on account of private property. First of all we may consider the general measures for the universalisation of private property. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

ELY, Richard Theodore was born in 1854 in Ripley, New York, United States of America.
Bachelor of Arts Columbia College, 1876.
His advocacy of reform movements and in particular his account of labour organisations caused him to be embroiled in controversy over strikes and the issue of socialism. The University of Wisconsin ‘trial’ in 1894 exonerated him and resulted in a classic statement in favour of academic freedom. The school he founded at Wisconsin provided a link between German historical economics and institutionalism, and became famous because of its collaboration with the progressive state government of Wisconsin.
Property and Contract.. was his main published contribution, but was only part of a massive output of articles and editorial work. His teaching and founding work for the American Economic Association made him one of the most influential economists of his time. Lector Economics, Johns Hopkins University, 1881-1892.
Professor, University Wisconsin, 1892-1922.
