I hope that it will be intelligibleto others. Butits main purpose is to deal with difficult questions of theory, andonly in the second place with the applications ofthis theory to practice, For if orthodox economics is at fault, the error is to be foundnot in the superstructure, which has been erected with great care for logical consistency, but in a lack ofclearness andof generality in the premisses. Thus I cannot achieve my, object of persuadingeconomists to re-examine critically certain of their basic assumptions except by a highly abstract argument andalso by much controversy. I wish there could have been less of the latter. But I have thought it important, notonly to explain my own point of view, but also to show in what respects it departs from the prevailing theory. Those, who are strongly wedded to what I shall call (theclassical theory., will fluctuate, I expect, between a beliefthat I am quite wrong and a beliefthat I am saying nothing new, It is for others to determine if either of these or the third alternative is right. My controversial passages are aimed at providingsome material for an answer; andI must ask forgiveness if, in the pursuit of sharp distinctions, my controversy is itself tookeen. I myself heldwith conviction for many years the theories which I nowattack, and I am not, I think, ignorant of their strong points. 本书主要是为我的同行经济学家所写，我希望其他 人也能看懂。但是，本书的主要目的是探讨理论上的难 题，至于该理论在实际中的应用则居于次要地位。因为， 如果正统经济学有错误之处，那么其错误之处不在于建 立在精心构筑的逻辑一致性基础之上
