Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book by Commander Hastings Berkeley explores the relationship between wealth and welfare, particularly in regard to the production of wealth. During the late 19th century, the central theme of the work examines a fundamental question: if means of production (for example, increased automation) lead to a loss of human welfare, how should nations determine what truly constitutes their prosperity? Recognizing that morality and political economy are inseparable, the author contends that industrial production and distribution methods commonly accepted as best practices in his day often had harmful effects on society. In particular, he argues that a nation can impoverish itself in the pursuit of ever-greater wealth if increased production carries with it the erosion of its citizens' mental and physical health and happiness.
