Logic
XIII Ends of political economy. These are the same
as those of the distributive branch of law.
Wherein then lies the differences? Answer
But in so far as political economy is the object,
so it is that to two of these objects, viz
subsistence and abundance, a more particular
and direct and forcible attention is paid than
either to security (general security) or to equality.
By distributive law is declared what on as many
occasions as can be devised shall happen to have been taken into view shall to each man's
own. By political economy is endeavoured to
be ascertained how far and of for what particular
purposes chiefly for the general purposes of abundance
and subsistence (i.e. security of subsistence)
the use which otherwise under distributive law each man
might make of his own, shall for the more
effectual fulfilment of those several objects ends, shall
be restricted limited directed and restricted.
