This classic work presents the candid wit and wisdom of George Washington Plunkitt (1842&#8211;1924), a longtime state senator from New York who represented the Fifteenth Assembly District and was especially powerful in New York City. Plunkitt was part of the city&#39;s Tammany Hall organization and a cynical practitioner of what today is generally known as &#34;machine politics,&#34; a patronage-based system in which politicians openly exercise power for personal gain. &#160; Plunkitt defined &#34;dishonest graft&#34; as working solely for one&#39;s own interests, as opposed to &#34;honest graft,&#34; which involves the interests of one&#39;s party and state as well as individual benefits. An enthusiastic party man, he believed in appointments, patronage, spoils, and all the corrupt practices that were curtailed by the civil service law, regarding them as both the rewards and cause of patriotism. Modern readers will find his strikingly modern-sounding motivations and justifications both entertaining and instructive.

Alfred Marshall (1842-1924) was one of the most influential English economists of his time. Known as one of the founders of neoclassical economics, Marshall desired to improve the mathematical rigor of economics and transform it into a more scientific profession. Although he took economics to a more mathematically meticulous level, he did not want mathematics to overshadow economics. Marshall began his significant work, the «Principles of Economics,» in 1881 and spent much of the next decade at work on this discourse. «Principles» achieved worldwide reputation, becoming the most dominant economic textbook in England for many years. It positively shaped the teaching of economics in English-speaking countries. The main technical contribution was the masterful analysis of the issues of consumer surplus, increasing and diminishing returns, short and long terms, and elasticity. It brings the ideas of supply and demand, costs of production, and marginal utility into a coherent whole. In a broader sense, Marshall hoped to reconcile the classical and modern theories of value.
