A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The title page of this work emphasizes the thought that conservation is to be regarded as a treatment of the foundations of national prosperity. It deals with the permanent causes of the Wealth of Nations. The titanic war struggle in which we are engaged makes it important to emphasize the fact that in the treatment of conservation we are dealing with national preparedness both for war and peace. There is danger that in dealing with measures of preparedness we may direct our attention too exclusively to the needs of to-day and to-morrow, whereas nothing stands out more clearly as a result of our world war than the fact that preparedness must be a permanent, all-round condition; for otherwise our preparations may be in vain. While it is true that this book deals mainly with permanent conditions of prosperity and preparedness, it also has lessons for the immediate present. Part I deals with the more general aspects of the subject, bringing it particularly into relation to economic theory. This Part terminates in a consideration of conservation policies, and it is shown that these are chiefly land policies. Land policies are becoming more pressing, and their importance has been stressed by the World War. In Part II, Professor Hess discusses the relation of conservation to economic evolution and shows that each stage in economic evolution must have its own conservation policies.
