Economics both describes the way economic forces work and studies
the effi ciency, or ineffi ciency, that results. These two aspects
of economics have probably never been wholly separated, and it is
debatable how far it is possible or desirable to separate them. The
question will ultimately be answered by evaluating these different
theoretical methods in terms of the results they deliver. The
theory of economic effi ciency uniquely incorporates problem of
ideals of good conduct and welfare; in short, of morals and ethics.
Preface to Social Economics presents thumbnail sketches describing
the growth of our awareness of social problems over the past
century. Beginning in the nineteenth century, the sciences, both
natural and social, made us aware of many factors governing our
behavior. With the discovery of controllable external social
causes, the responsibility for problems (and change) shifted from
the individual to the group. Studies of industrial accidents are an
example. When it was learned that the number of injuries per hour
increases with the length of the working day and with the absence
of mechanical safeguards, it led to a demand for shorter hours,
safety laws, and compulsory accident insurance. Similarly, as we
begin to understand the connection between the rate of interest
with booms in building, unemployment ceases to be a matter of
individual responsibility and becomes a problem for business and
society. This classic book, initially published in 1936, illumines
a growing knowledge of controllable causes of social evils. John
Maurice Clark was a long-time professor of economics at Columbia
University. The editors of this volume Moses Abramovitz and Eli
Ginzberg were both students of Clark, and prepared this volume
under his direct supervision.
