Publisher's Synopsis
Imperial Germany and the Industrial Revolution is a book written by Thorstein Veblen, an American economist and sociologist. The book was published in 1915 and explores the economic and social conditions of Germany during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Veblen examines the relationship between Germany's industrialization and its imperial ambitions, arguing that the country's rapid economic growth was fueled by its desire for power and prestige on the world stage. He also looks at the ways in which Germany's economic and political systems were shaped by the country's unique historical and cultural contexts. The book is divided into three main sections. The first section provides an overview of Germany's industrialization and its impact on the country's social and economic structures. The second section looks at the role of the state in promoting industrialization and the ways in which this led to the growth of a powerful bureaucratic class. The final section examines the relationship between Germany's economic and military power and its imperial ambitions, arguing that the country's pursuit of international influence was a key driver of its economic growth. Overall, Imperial Germany and the Industrial Revolution provides a detailed and nuanced analysis of the economic and social forces that shaped Germany's development during this period. It remains an important work in the field of economic history and is widely regarded as one of Veblen's most influential books.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
