The elder Keynes argues that almost every problem connected with
the scope and method of political economy has given rise to
conflict of opinion. The resulting controversies have sometimes
been bitter. Those readers, who already have any acquaintance with
the literature of economic method should be prepared to find that
several of the chapters are controversial in character. At the same
time, Keynes avoids the tone of a partisan and represents both
sides of the argument without prejudice. While making no attempt to
bring about a complete reconciliation between opposing views,
Keynes shows the nature of the opposition between them has
sometimes been misunderstood, and its extent consequently
exaggerated. Since the scope and method of a science can never be
satisfactorily discussed at the commencement of its study, some
knowledge of political economy in its general outlines is assumed.
The nature of the topics discussed in this classic is indicated in
the introductory chapter. The abstract discussion of methods is one
to which students of economics must necessarily give attention in
the course of their reading, and its indirect bearing on the
solution of practical economic questions is very close in
contemporary importance in today's society.
