Publisher's Synopsis
""The Consumption of Wealth"" is a book written by Simon Nelson Patten in 1901. The book explores the role of consumption in the economy and argues that the consumption of goods and services is necessary for economic growth. Patten contends that the traditional economic focus on production and saving is misguided, and that consumption should be seen as a positive force in society. The book also examines the relationship between consumption and social inequality, and argues that consumption can be used as a tool for social progress. Patten's ideas were influential in shaping the development of modern consumer culture, and the book remains a significant work in the history of economics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
