Toward Social Economy (Political & Social Economy)

By Howard R. Bowen

Thisreprinting of Professor Bowen's classic 1948 work inaugurates a new series "Political and Social Economy." The series will be devoted to developing a literature reflecting a humanistic point of view in economics and eco­nomic theory. It will include reprints and commissioned new works espous­ing a diversity of similarly broad-gauged and frequently nontraditional points of view. Its objective--implicit in the series title--is to increase the angle of vision of economics.

The purpose of Professor Bowen's Toward Social Economy, stated in the Preface to the first edition, is "to pre­sent a view of the whole economic sys­tem, and at the same time to fit that system into place as one part or aspect of the more comprehensive social fab­ric." It provides a framework of a com­plete course in economics for the gen­eral reader as well as the student of economics.

C. Addison Hickman, the coeditor of this significant new series, has con­tributed a Foreword reflecting on the importance and contemporary relevance of Professor Bowen's work and making a case for a broad viewpoint in the formulation of economic theory and public policy.
