Synopsis

The New Basis of Civilization (1907) is a book written by Simon Nelson Patten, an American economist and professor at the University of Pennsylvania. In this book, Patten argues that civilization is based on economic principles and that the progress of society depends on the development of economic institutions. He contends that the traditional view of civilization as being based on moral and ethical principles is outdated and that the future of civilization lies in the hands of those who can create economic systems that are efficient and productive. Patten also discusses the role of government in shaping economic institutions and the importance of education in preparing individuals for economic success. The book is considered a seminal work in the field of economics and provides insights into the development of economic theory in the early 20th century.The Kennedy Lectures For 1905, In The School Of Philanthropy, Conducted By The Charity Organization Society Of The City Of New York.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

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.
