POLITICAL ECONOMY is the science which treats of the nature and causes of wealth. The word economy is from two Greek words signifying house and law; and means the law of the house, or household. Hence, the economy of a person means the regulation and government of his family, or the concerns of his household. In this sense of the term, a man's economy may be said to be either good or bad. But it is commonly used in a more restricted sense, signify. ing frugality, or a prudent management of household affairs. § 742. In speaking of the regulation of the affairs of a state or nation, we use the term public economy, or more frequently political economy. As economy has in view the acquisition of wealth, or property, the term political economy is used to designate the science which teaches the manner in which the prosperity of the members of a body politic is promoted; or how the public wealth is produced, distributed, and consumed. §743. The utility of a knowledge of this science has not hitherto been duly appreciated. Nothing needs to be said to convince any one of the importance of domestic or private economy. All mankind, moved by self-interest, are ever seeking ways and means of increasing their wealth. Hence we see men assiduously pursuing their own private interests, EXERCISES. § 741.
