Synopsis

""The Engineers and the Price System"" is a book written by Thorstein Veblen, a prominent American economist and social critic, published in 1921. In this book, Veblen examines the role of engineers in the economic system and their relationship with the price system.Veblen argues that engineers, as experts in technical efficiency, have the potential to play a critical role in shaping the economic system. However, he also notes that the price system, which is driven by profit motives and market forces, often undermines the efforts of engineers to create efficient and sustainable systems.Veblen uses historical examples and case studies to illustrate his arguments, including the development of the railroads in the United States and the emergence of the automobile industry. He also discusses the impact of technological advancements on the economy and the role of government in regulating and managing the economic system.Overall, ""The Engineers and the Price System"" is a thought-provoking analysis of the relationship between technology, economics, and society. It offers insights into the challenges and opportunities facing engineers and policymakers in creating a more efficient and equitable economic system.The Guardians of the Vested Interests...have allowed their own knowledge of this sinister state of things to unseat their common sense....they have gone in for a headlong policy of clamor and repression, to cover and suppress matters of fact and to shut off discussion and deliberation. And all the while the Guardians are also feverishly at work on a mobilization of such forces as may hopefully be counted on to ""keep the situation in hand"" (I love Veblen)This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
