Economy Is Political.

In Its broadest sense economy is political. That does not mean that it’s entirely a matter of politics. It means that It concerns the whole people. It has to do with production, distribution and consumption. It alms at the increase of wealth, the supplying of human wants aUB the regulating of the service of our fiellow men. To become proficient you must learn to observe the facts and act as experience dictates. You must expect to be puzzled frequently. Yes, you will even mqet with reverses. But in the end the sum of your benefits will overbalance your losses if you are a real economist. The one who by good judgment and industry makes the best use of what he has is the one that will forge ahead. Others win follow in the order of al-, legiance to these principles.—Grit.
