Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from New Fallacies of Midas: A Survey of Industrial and Economic Problems
Nor have I wished to lose from sight those ethical and political values, which, though they are not strictly economic, Were far too Often neglected by the early economists. I have tried to foresee the conditions upon which man's happiness must be built, as Well as the methods whereby his wealth is to be got. To be content with cold analysis is to-day impossible the problems are too vital and, though all prophecy is dangerous, we must needs anticipate some practical solution. We must confront the future in the strength of some reasoned faith. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
