From the Introduction:
"Any society's moral order develops from its religion, its philosophy, its humane literature. The discipline of political economy, little understood until the latter half of the eighteenth century, is no independent creation: what economic views one holds must depend upon one's apprehension of human nature. An economic system indifferent to morality will not long endure. For proof of these theses, read with attention Baldacchino's succinct study, the work of a sound scholar endowed with a philosophical habit of mind."-Russell Kirk
