An excerpt from Chapter 1 of Capitalism: A Treatise on Economics, Volume I.
Economics has been defined in a variety of ways. In the nineteenth century it was typically defined as the science of wealth or of exchangeable wealth. In the twentieth century, it has typically been defined as the science that studies the allocation of scarce means among competing ends. [1]
