The science of political economy examines the revolution of peoples and the reasons that make the rank of one nation above the rank of another nation in happiness and well-being, and its purpose is to guide what should be done; To reduce the number of the poor and needy as much as possible, and to stop each one on the means that lead him to reap the fruits of his labor.

There is no doubt that there are other sciences that aim at this very end, such as the science of machines.

Through it, we are guided to obtain power and how to dispose of it in a way that helps to highlight business results.

The science of chemistry with which we know what beneficial and good gems are, and how to extract bright colors, bright dyes, sweet perfumes, and beneficial oils from the foul-smelling residue left behind by the action of the gas.

And astronomy, among its most important benefits, is guiding us aboard the seas, oceans, satellites, and stratigraphy, and it guides us in searching for coal and extracting minerals.

Not only are these sciences necessary for the progress of man, his promotion, and the achievement of his happiness, but there are other social sciences that refer to this purpose, such as the sciences of rights, for example, they search for the legitimate right of human beings, and the way in which this right is determined, and guaranteed by just laws.

Likewise, the science of political philosophy, whose purpose is to know the different systems of government, and the advantages of each system in relation to the other.

As well as the science of medicine, it searches for the causes of diseases and impairments.

Likewise, the science of statistics includes all the accidents and matters related to the whole kingdom or part of it. All these sciences guide us to the path of wealth, bliss, and reason.

Although the purpose of all these sciences is the same as the purpose of political economy, this science is distinguished from it in that it examines wealth as it is, ways to dispose of it in the best way, and how to benefit from other sciences to acquire it.

Some people misbelieve in the science of political economy, because they study wealth only as it is, and they say that there are more things than wealth by research and study, such as virtue, love, and generosity, and they would like scholars’ research to be limited to these matters and not wealth, based on the fact that man is able to He becomes rich and has a reputation for skill and skill in giving and taking and hoarding his money as a miser who is keen on his money does, and where it was better and better to spend money in the interest of the family, relatives, friends and the public in general, a group went to challenge the principles of political economy.

If we reflect on the reality of this science, we find that there is no place for these accusations, nor for the objections of the objection to one of those sayings; As he had forgotten that the subject of the research of any science should be one thing and that it cannot be taught to all social sciences a single ball in order to stop him on the reality of the purpose of that subject.
