Abstract
		
		The proposition we have in our hands was taken up by us, the reader will  certainly recall, not primarily with the intent of conducting a course  on social economy but merely to indicate some fundamental points to  those who take pleasure in such studies, points either not perceived or  distorted by many economists due to lack of faith, or at least to lack  of Catholic sentiment. Under that aspect, we hoped to spare our readers  the annoyance of certain rudimentary elements, which if required  absolutely for a complete course, could well be taken for granted or  overlooked when writing for the use of amateurs.
