Publisher's Synopsis
The Science of Wealth is a book written by J.A. Hobson and published in 1911. In this book, Hobson explores the economic and social factors that contribute to wealth creation and distribution. He argues that the traditional view of economics, which focuses on individual self-interest and the laws of supply and demand, is insufficient for understanding the complexities of wealth creation in modern society. Instead, he advocates for a more holistic approach that takes into account the role of government, social institutions, and collective action in shaping economic outcomes. Hobson also discusses the ethical implications of wealth creation and distribution, arguing that a just society must ensure that everyone has access to the basic necessities of life. Overall, The Science of Wealth is a thought-provoking exploration of the economic and social factors that shape our lives and our world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
