dc.description.abstract | If the sole
purpose of the work of the Society were statistical investigation, I
would be completely unqualified to preside over its meetings. It is
possible, however, to slip in under the second part of our title. In the
field of social inquiry, economics plays an important, although by no
means an exclusive, part. Our Society, among its other manifold
useful functions, serves as a meeting place for those engaged in the
different departments of social inquiry, where we can exchange our
experiences, compare our researches and collate our results. It may
not prove out of place, therefore, to utilize this occasion to attempt
to explain to my fellow-workers in the social sciences some of the
peculiar difficulties under which the economist has always laboured
and is doomed to continue to labour. Such an explanation may do
something to reduce the misunderstandings which are perpetually
arising between economists and their critics. | en |
