This Age of Plenty: Its Problems and Their Solution (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This influential economic text explores the modern industrial system and identifies a crucial problem at its core: despite technological advancements that enable mass production, society grapples with persistent poverty and unemployment. The book argues that these economic ills stem from a flaw in the monetary system rather than a shortage of resources. Traditional economics, inherited from pre-industrial times, has failed to adapt to the machine age. The author presents a compelling case that money, far from being a commodity in itself, is simply a social mechanism designed to facilitate production and distribution. However, the current system, dominated by banks, prioritizes profit over societal well-being, leading to a fundamental imbalance between production and consumption. The book posits that a truly rational money system would ensure equilibrium between prices and purchasing power, unlocking a world of prosperity that is currently out of reach. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780265010686_0
