Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Influence of Commerce on Civilization: The Joseph Fisher Lecture in Commerce, Delivered at the University of Adelaide
I have in my paper endeavoured to give a Short history of the Influence of Commerce on Civilization, and, during the course of the paper as I have endeavoured to put it to you, I have quietly tried to portray the varying in?uence, one over the other, between the con?icting good and bad in commerce and civilization, since history began. There has ever been a conflict between practice and theory; between common-sense and visionary ideas.
