Synopsis

This book proposes a more equitable distribution of wealth as the basis for a healthy society. At the time of original publication in 1907, Simon Nelson Patten (1852-1922) was Professor of Political Economy at the Wharton School of Finance and Economy at University of Pennsylvania. He also served as the President of the American Economics Association. He introduced the concept of the "consumer surplus" into modern economic theory. His other books include The Development of English Thought, The Social Basis of Religion, and Culture and War.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

American Social Progress Series is designed to furnish the increasing number of students of our concrete American social life, especially in its manifestation in social problems that have arisen in the larger cities of the United States, a series of brief and clearly written handbooks, stating the newer social thought based upon the accumulated material of recent scientific investigations. Some of the volumes, for which plans are in progress, will be chiefly descriptive, and embody the results of such field investigation of the facts relating to special problems as we have recorded for English conditions in the works of Mr. Charles Booth, Mr. Rowntree, and others. Brevity of statement and conciseness of treatment will be maintained so that these handbooks may be serviceable for collateral reading and class discussion in the various groups of persons, who, in our colleges and educational institutions as well as in clubs and literary societies, are giving attention and study to the social problems of our own time.
