Excerpt from The Wisdom of the Wise: Three Lectures on Free Trade Imperialism Modern Logicians and Economic Methods, which Mr Haldane delivered to the Scottish Society Of Economists, he complains that during the two years which have just gone past, a good many people have written, and still more have spoken as if they imagined that the characteristic categories of the old economists belong properly to the lumber Though he exempts me from this accu sation, he still seems to think that the language which I used about the Classical Economists, in my address as President Of the Economic Section Of the British Association at Capetown, was unduly disparaging.
