Inheriting the Earth: Or the Geographical Factor, in National Development (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Inheriting the Earth: Or the Geographical Factor, in National Development
The peace, prosperity, and progress of all the world, and the spread of civilization to all its parts, will be most rapidly and surely attained when once the idea has become generally accepted that all men will profit most by per mitting and encouraging everywhere the most effective utilization of natural resources. Only by that means can the maximum production of all commodities be secured. This may seem a very materialistic concept of human des tiny, but it should not be forgotten that only after man's needs are supplied can he give time and energy to study and contemplation. The future of nations is as sured when they have learned to inherit the earth and the fulness thereof.
On such a basis it might appear that the field of this book lies in the domain of economics rather than in that of geography. The respective fields of the two sciences are, however, made clearly distinct when economics is de fined as the study of man earning a living, and geography as the study of man earning a living at a certain place; in other words, geography is the regional application of the principles and statistics of economic and other science.
