Synopsis
Rethinking Wealth and the Modern Economy
A clear, accessible introduction to what we mean by wealth in today’s world. It explains how market value shapes both individual and national worth, and why natural advantages aren’t counted as wealth in business terms.
The book surveys how industry, wages, and trade fit into a larger economic system. It links everyday work—from clerks to skilled tradespeople—to broader questions about efficiency, fairness, and social well-being. Readers will see how prices, policy, and organization interact to create or limit prosperity.
- How wealth is defined and measured in both private and national contexts
- Why services, skilled labor, and personal effort count as wealth in the economy
- How wages arise from skill, labor scarcity, and organizational factors
- How trade policy, international exchange, and industrial structure shape living standards
Ideal for readers of economics and social science who seek a broad view of how wealth, work, and policy connect in the modern world.

Présentation de l'éditeur
It describes the ways in which the productive powers of Labour, A bility, Land, Capital andS ociety are applied in the various trades, arts and professions, for the production of material goods and services, and the ways in which the payment for this work is regulated and carried out. No knowledge of economic facts or principles is presumed, except such as every intelligent man or woman acquires in the ordinary experience of life. So brief a presentation of so large a subject will suffer necessary defects. It will be apt to be too unqualified in statement and too dogmatic in mode of argument. It will shirk some important points of controversy. Since the line of interpretation taken here has been more fully defended in a larger volume entitled The Industrial System, I may be permitted to refer to it those readers who may wish to follow out the argument in more detail. J. A. HOBSON.
