Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book on political economy is notable for its distinct perspective on consumption as not only the end of the economic process but also a factor to be investigated in its own right. It critiques the prevailing focus on competition and argues that this approach needs to consider the effects of over-competition on the quality and distribution of goods, with a particular focus on the impact on the working class and economic conditions of workers. The book contends that the theoretical basis of economics requires a broader understanding of consumption, including the factors that influence it like culture, habits and policy, extending beyond the narrow focus on parsimony and saving that has characterized prevailing economic theory. By examining these elements and their impact on production, distribution, and consumption, the author provides a deeper understanding of how the organization of industry affects the well-being of society and offers insights for policies that promote genuine societal well-being. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
