11 PREFACE This book is a product of many years of reading and reflection on methods of understanding social and economic questions; on efforts to find intellectual solutions to these questions; and on practical attempts to resolve the problems whence they arise - that is, on philosophy, the social sciences and history. For this reason it may appear to be 'too philosophical' to some economists, even though I have never had - and I would repudiate - any interest in 'philosophising' about social and economic problems: in general, it is the problem itself which gives rise to the philosophy - not the other way around; in particular, a serious inquiry into the relevance and significance of our methods of understanding and solving economic and social problems would be incomplete (and often worthless) in total oblivion of their historical and philosophical contexts. It has been necessary both to present and discuss relevant philosophical concepts and theories, and to compare them with methods of socio-economic discovery by means of illustrative examples from the theories and methods of economic science, past and present. In Chapters 1 to 7 I have given examples from the theory and practice of economics (and, sometimes, other social sciences); and in Chapter 8 I have presented a sample of modem theories and approaches to our subject, as a summary illustration for the critical remarks of the preceding chapters. Yet I have kept down the number of such examples, and the space devoted to each, to a minimum which in my judgement has been compatible both with economy and with clarity. And I have left the reader to supply countless other examples which are available from textbooks - not to mention the innumerable current publications which threaten to bury us all under their dead weight. I have intended to solve problems not to sell products. Whether or not my arguments are judged to be 'too philosophical', 'too economic', 'too radical', 'too moderate'- all of which appellations, and others besides, can be conceivably attached to this essay, by readers of different persuasions or specialisations - I would happily agree that my

12 xii PREFACE general approach is unprofessional in a sociological sense of this term which I have discussed in Chapter 5 of this work. It is a product of many years and, indeed, its origins are shrouded in unclear memories from my childhood. It therefore owes a great deal to many who - either by their wisdom or by their follies - have made indispensable contributions to my intellectual development. If I cannot name them all here it is not because the value of their teachings have been overlooked or forgotten. Some of them are among us no longer: for example my father, who - apart from his generous and unselfish material support -taught me (both in conversation and in conduct) the value of a love for truth; the ethic of a regard for the freedom and welfare of others; and the excellence of a restless, but dignified, life over a peaceful, but servile, existence. I cherish their memories dead or alive, and I acknowledge my debt to them wherever they may be. Happily the number of those who have had a direct and immediate share in this piece of work is not too large to forbid explicit acknowledgements. Professor T. W. Hutchison - to whose learned lectures I owe my introduction to the history of economic thought - read the entire manuscript in draft and offered valuable comments and criticisms. Likewise, Professor Joan Robinson (who is not in need of witnesses for her analytical powers) read and criticised the whole of the material with characteristic generosity, efficiency and candour. Professor Syed Ahmad's and Professor Peter Victor's selfless encouragements as well as their suggestions, and reassurances, on certain important points, were very helpful. Professor Sir Karl Popper, though not directly involved in this particular project, has made an important (indirect) contribution to it, both by what I have learned from the spirit (in spite of my occasional disagreement with the letter) of his ideas, and by his distant encouragements, including his frequent gifts of offprints from his (relevant) publications. I have also benefited from suggestions for improvement by two anonymous readers, the standard of whose scholarship is reflected in their acute observations on form and content, and in the generous spirit of their assessments. None of these, known and unknown, critics would necessarily agree with all my descriptions, analyses or prescriptions. And, on occasion, I have retained my own views or style of presentation, in spite of their contrary, and no less reasonable, suggestions. They all share in the credit (if any), and none in the blame.

13 PREFACE The work was completed in the academic year when I had the pleasure of living in Canada, and the privilege of serving McMaster University. In the same year I was libelled in England, and I lost a brother in Persia. Yet the openness of space and society in Canada, the amiable environment of the Department of Economics at McMaster, and the moral and material generosities of my colleagues were such as to mitigate the grief caused by those catastrophes, and generate enthusiasm for life and work, none the less. It is difficult to know whether the delightful combination of efficiency and humanity with which the departmental secretaries fulfil their tasks is a cause or a consequence of this congenial social and intellectual atmosphere. However that may be, Mrs Ruth Nicholson's general supervision of my works and duties, and Ms Debbie Sanche's highly skilful and conscientious typing of the manuscript had a significant share in the outcome. The contributions of Miss Monique Raitchey, Mrs Sharon Ciraolo and Miss Elvia Horvath may have been less direct, but no less valuable... I thank them all for a debt which can never be fully repaid. Finally - and in spite of all its limitations - this work may not have been realised without the moral support of my wife and the wonderful gift of our children. Efforts of this kind may not justify their costs, and especially those which are inflicted on others. Yet this imbalance between their real costs and their hypothetical benefits may be rendered less drastic when we remember that men die but ideas remain. M. A. Homayoun Katouzian University of Kent at Canterbury September 1978 xiii
