Synopsis
How national planning reshapes work, goods, and everyday life for the public good. This work argues that rapid organization and state action, not private profit alone, can secure fair work, reliable supplies, and affordable living.
Drawing on wartime lessons, it examines how production, distribution, and services could be guided by national institutions. It contrasts the failures of laissez-faire with the potential of coordinated efforts in food, housing, energy, and industry. The book invites readers to reconsider who should own and run essential systems for the benefit of all citizens.
- Models of national factories, public utilities, and coordinated supply chains.
- How price controls, planning, and organization influence everyday comforts and safety.
- Examples from coal, food, housing, and transportation to illustrate policy choices.
- Implications for workers, consumers, and the future of national prosperity.
Ideal for readers of economic history and policy looking for practical, historical approaches to national planning.

Présentation de l'éditeur
National organization triumphed in a land where it had been denied. These pages attempt to do justice to the magnitude of labour and daring of conception which were brought to bear upon the serious problems of national and inter-A llied supply. It is shown that the ancient distrust of national organization was responsible for the untoward economic conditi is in which we entered the war. Industries of primary importance had been nlected for the purpose of peace, and were therefore not available for the purposes of war. The serious physical deterioration of the people, revealed as never before by the recruiting returns, is also traced to the denial of scientific organization. As to the position which obtained at the close of the war, it is argued that the nation possessed, in the imperfect but very valuable national organizaticm which had been achieved for war purposes, a foundation upon which truly to reconstruct industry and society.

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.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book calls for a profound shift in our understanding of national economies, arguing for the prioritization of social good over mere commercial gain. The author contends that the tumultuous events of the First World War exposed the inherent limitations of unfettered individualism and underscored the power of national organization in times of crisis. Drawing upon extensive firsthand experience in key wartime roles, the author vividly illustrates how Britain's embrace of nationalization in vital sectors like munitions, shipping, and food supply proved instrumental in securing victory. He challenges the prevailing notion that private enterprise is the sole engine of progress, positing instead that the true potential of a nation lies in harnessing its collective resources and directing them towards shared objectives. This book delves into critical issues such as the role of scientific advancements, the impact of social inequalities, and the need for a more equitable distribution of wealth. It compels us to reconsider the relationship between the individual and the state, urging a reevaluation of our economic principles in light of the lessons learned from the war. Ultimately, this book's insights serve as a potent reminder that a nation's strength and prosperity hinge not on the pursuit of individual profit but on the collective pursuit of the common good. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
