Abstract

My interest in social economics was very much stimulated by Dr. George F. Rohrlich, in our years as colleagues at Temple University. More than once, our conversations on this and related topics have been interrupted by my comment (not, I must confess, without mischievious intent) that I really had no clear idea what social economics was. Not to be diverted by my grouchiness, George responded that, after all, the limits of social economics are yet to be discovered. Indeed they are, of course, and any living science or humane study is sure to have somewhat indefinite boundaries. To define is to delimit, and whatever may be defined without the least ambiguity or vagueness must surely be dead.
