First published in 1929, Uplift in Economics is a self-proclaimed propaganda against the influence of moral judgement in social science research. The author argues that while the development of mankind is an honourable goal of economics and political science, the understanding and the execution of such development should not be marred by the moral beliefs of the researcher. Instead, priority should be given to scientific temper and empirical facts while carrying out any research. Over the years, the binary of reason and feeling has been replaced with a negotiation of the two; however, it is interesting to study the treatment of this debate at various points in history. This book will be of interest to students of economics, political science, psychology, philosophy and history.
