Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. "Wealth and Life" is a seminal exploration of the relationship between economic activity and the qualitative experience of human existence. Written by the renowned social scientist and economist J. A. Hobson, this work serves as a comprehensive critique of traditional economic theories that prioritize abstract wealth over the actual well-being of individuals and society. Hobson argues for a "human valuation" of economics, asserting that the true measure of a nation's prosperity lies in its capacity to foster a healthy, creative, and fulfilling life for all its citizens.Throughout the text, Hobson delves into the ethical dimensions of production, consumption, and distribution. He examines the psychological and social costs of industrial systems and advocates for a shift toward more organic and humane economic structures. By bridging the gap between moral philosophy and political economy, "Wealth and Life" offers a visionary perspective on how resources can be better aligned with the needs of humanity. This work remains an essential read for those interested in the history of economic thought, welfare economics, and the ongoing dialogue regarding the social responsibilities of capitalism.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
