This work serves as an introduction to the principles of political economy, aiming to clarify how wealth is generated, distributed, and consumed within societies. It addresses the fundamental economic concepts relevant to both individual and collective prosperity and challenges common misconceptions about wealth and its distribution. The opening of the text outlines the author's intention to demystify political economy for a broader audience, particularly elementary learners. Jevons emphasizes that political economy is crucial for understanding the wealth of nations and the factors affecting social well-being. He points out that this field is often misunderstood, as many people tend to equate wealth solely with money or material possessions, while political economy encompasses a much broader understanding of resources, labor, and the benefits of education and industry. The initial chapters define key concepts such as wealth, utility, and the nature of economic transactions, setting the stage for a more detailed exploration of production, consumption, and societal welfare in subsequent sections.
