To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
that economists are more profoundly conscious of the limitations of their science. The principles of economic science are generalisations which are more or less widely true ; they give us a basis for saying what is probable under certain circumstances. But they never can supply statements that are universally valid in the world of fact ; and therefore they never can tell us what must happen. The economic ' must' is a survival from an earlier phase of the science which has been superseded ; it b...elongs to the age of the doctrines of the 'wages fund, ' and of the 'last hour. ' The expert, who at the present day asserts that imports ' must ' be paid for by exports, or that goods ' must ' be paid for with goods is taking a tone he has no right to adopt. It is perfectly clear that on the whole and generally a purchaser ' must ' pay for the goods he receives, or shopkeepers will not continue to supply him ; as an abstract proposition he ' must ' pay for what he receives. There are probably a large number of places in which the state- ment that a man 'must' live within his income is true in fact.
