The Political Economy of Humanism is a book written by Henry Wood and published in 1901. The book explores the relationship between political economy and humanism, arguing that the two are interconnected and that a truly humanistic society must be built on a foundation of economic justice. Wood critiques the prevailing economic theories of his time, including laissez-faire capitalism and socialism, and proposes a new model of political economy that prioritizes the well-being of all individuals.

The book is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of the intersection between economics and humanism, and remains relevant to contemporary debates about economic justice and human rights.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

He came in and stood in the doorway, smiling down upon her. So shadowy, so thin! his face utterly pale, his dark blue eyes unnaturally large, his wavy hair damp with the exertion of walking.

She rose from her seat, unable to speak, the colour going and coming in her transparent skin; and when she quietly moved forward to welcome him, her heart found its action again, and bounded on in tumultuous beats. The very intensity of her emotion caused her demeanour to be almost unnaturally still.
