Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of the American Economic Association Five years of steady growth in usefulness and public favor has proved the wisdom of the formation of the American Economic Association, by showing that the want it was designed to meet was a real one. The Association was organized on the 9th of September, 1885, at Saratoga, for two well defined, yet closely connected purposes. These were: first, the scientific study of social and economic problems; and, second, the diffusion of knowledge with regard to them. In order to accomplish these ends, there was needed the co-operation not only of scientific men, but of all who were interested in political and social science. Accordingly, members were sought from all occupations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
