Synopsis
George Brockway sees economics as a humanistic discipline. He isn't too concerned with mathematics, but focuses instead on the more fundamental issues. In simple language, this book defines basic terms and answers the following questions: What is money? How does the stock market work? How does the Government affect the economy and how should it? Are there really "laws" of economics and is it a science? Why do we have recessions and depressions? Where is the economy heading? The author gives a description of the way things are and an opinion of the way they should be. He uncovers assumptions that are silently and often unconsciously made by economists. He restates the "law" of supply and demand, analyzes the effect of speculation, clarifies the conflict between wages and interest rates, and emphasizes the moral imperatives with which economics must ultimately concern itself.

Hardback. Condition: Good. This book challenges the traditional law of supply and demand, shows how hunger for capital gains starves the producing economy, demonstrates that the Bankers' COLA (or interest premium to protect them from inflation) costs the economy more than $500 billion a year and is the principal cause of inflation, refutes the barbarous hypothesis of a natural rate of unemployment, exposes laughable inconsistencies in the contemporaneous notion of labor productivity, and explains the changes in the meanings of property and of money that are ushering in the twenty-first century. All the foregoing (and more) is in the interest of establishing an economics in which men and women are not pawns moved about by Adam Smith s invisible hand (or perhaps by some analog to classical mechanics or zoology) but free human beings who are responsible for their actions and can find therein foundations of mores, morals, and morale.
