倘若我们想要恪守（remain true to）逻辑法则（laws of logic）与事物本质规律（nature of things），就必须将个体经济（economy of individuals）与社会经济（economy of societies）区分开来；针对后者，还要进一步做出辨析（discriminate）：
其一为真正的政治经济学或国家经济学（true political or national economy），该学说源自（emanating from）国家的理念与本质（ the idea and nature of the nation），阐释在当下世界格局（ the present state of the world ）、本国特有对外关系（its own special national relations）下，特定国家（a given nation）该如何维系并改善自身的经济状况（economical conditions）；
其二为世界主义经济学（cosmopolitical economy），这一理论建立在如下预设（assumption）之上：地球上所有国家（all nations of the earth）共同构成单一社会（one society），永久处于和平共处的状态（perpetual state of peace）。
If we wish to remain true to the laws of logic and of the nature of things, we must set the economy of individuals against the economy of societies, and discriminate in respect to the latter I between true political or national economy (which, emanating from the idea and nature of the nation, teaches how a given nation in the present state of the world and its own special national relations can maintain and improve its economical conditions) and cosmopolitical economy, which originates in the assumption that all nations of the earth form but one society living in a perpetual state of peace.【from 英译本 pp.99-100】

从这一视角（point of view）来看，国家经济学（national economy）便是这样一门科学（science）：它准确地认知（correctly appreciating）各国当下的利益（existing interests）与独特国情（individual circumstances ），阐明每一个独立国家（every separate nation）该如何发展至这样一种产业发展阶段（stage of industrial development）—— 待到本国与其他同等发达的国家开展合作（union）时，自由贸易（freedom of trade）才能够落地推行，并为本国带来实际益处（useful）。
And national economy appears from this point of view to be that science which, correctly appreciating the existing interests and the individual circumstances of nations, teaches how every separate nation can be raised to that stage of industrial development in which union with other nations equally well developed, and consequently freedom of trade, can become possible and useful to it.【from 英译本 pp.103】

但主流学派（popular school）却将两套理论（doctrines）混为一谈（mixed up）；该学派犯下了严重的（grave）谬误（error）：单纯依据世界主义理论准则（purely cosmopolitical principles）评判各国发展现状，同时又仅出于本国政治层面（ political reasons）的考量，忽视（ignoring）生产力（productive powers）本身具备的世界化发展趋势（cosmopolitical tendency）。
The popular school, however, has mixed up both doctrines with one another; it has fallen into the grave error of judging of the conditions of nations according to purely cosmopolitical principles, and of ignoring from merely political reasons the cosmopolitical tendency of the productive powers.【from 英译本 pp.103】
