I've noticed a contadiction in the first paragraph:
...its members debated such issues as American science and Scottish political economy. The subjects of the conversations - and the books that supported them - were wide-ranging, but religion and politics were prohibited. If talking about politics was prohibited, how could they talk about Scottish politics? Can anyone clarify? MSGJ (talk) 11:33, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Quoting from the relevant Wikipedia article, "Political economy is the study of production and trade and their relations with law, custom and government; and with the distribution of national income and wealth." The article points out that by 1920, the preferred term for the discipline had become economics. "In common parlance, "political economy" may simply refer to the advice given by economists to the government or public on general economic policy or on specific economic proposals developed by political scientists. Does that clarify matters? — Objectivesea (talk) 21:09, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
There's no president listed for the period 1939 to 1961 and T.M. Harbottle is listed as serving from 1961 to 1961. Probably just a typo. Should Harbottle cover that period? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:646:8380:5020:D859:7526:86CC:BCB0 (talk) 14:59, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
