The confounding Political Economy with the Sciences and Arts to which it is subservient, has been one of the principal obstacles to its improvement.

Summary

This quote suggests that considering political economy as a science or an art itself has hindered its progress. By categorizing it in the same manner as other disciplines, the understanding and development of political economy may have been limited. The quote implies that Political Economy should rather be viewed as a tool or a means to achieve goals in other fields rather than as its own field of study. By doing so, progress and improvement in political economy can be achieved more effectively.
