Présentation de l'éditeur
Poor A merica! I ts inhabitants have never had enough to eat. The supplies of milk, butter, beef, mutton, fruit, eggs and green vegetables have been insufficient even in its most prosperous years. To meet the far from luxurious dietary standard set by theD epartment of Agriculture would require 177 billion pounds of milk. Only 100 billion pounds were provided in 1929 by our dairies. Forty-five billion eggs are needed. Thirty-one billion eggs were laid. Seven billion pounds of beef are required. Less than five billion pounds were produced. But food is the least of the shortages, though perhaps the most serious. There is also a lack of clothing. The men of the United States had to be satisfied in 1929 with half a new suit of clothes a piece, and one sixth of a new overcoat. Since then, their clothing budget has been drastically cut. The housing situation is even more deplorable. Two-thirds of the 30 million American families live in shacks and slums.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the root causes of poverty in America, arguing that widespread destitution stems not from a lack of resources but from artificial barriers within society itself. The author meticulously examines the economic landscape of the early 20th century, dissecting how traditional customs and taboos, such as the prohibition of certain activities during religious festivals, have held back wealth creation. Drawing parallels to societies across time and cultures, the book reveals how similar practices have stifled economic growth throughout history. The author asserts that America's potential for abundance is being squandered due to an outdated concept of wealth that emphasizes the exchange of money over the production of goods and services. This insightful analysis challenges conventional wisdom and offers a fresh perspective on the issue of poverty, underscoring the transformative power of removing artificial obstacles to unleash economic prosperity. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
