Le Caractère et la MÃ(c)thode Logique de l'Ãconomie Politique, by J.E. Cairnes, originally published in 1875 and here presented in the 1902 French translation, offers a detailed examination of the principles and methodologies underpinning political economy as a distinct field of study. Cairnes meticulously explores the logical framework necessary for sound economic analysis, emphasizing the importance of deductive reasoning and careful observation in understanding economic phenomena.
This seminal work delves into the character of economic laws, distinguishing them from those of the physical sciences, and addresses the challenges inherent in applying scientific methods to social and economic issues. Cairnes's insights remain relevant for students and scholars interested in the history of economic thought and the ongoing debates about the proper scope and methodology of economic inquiry. This edition provides valuable historical context for understanding the evolution of economic theory and its continuing influence on contemporary economic debates.
