Download or read book THE ENGINEERS AND THE PRICE SYSTEM written by Thorstein Veblen and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2024-01-10 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'The Engineers and the Price System' by Thorstein Veblen, the author explores the impact of engineering advancements on the economic and social structure of society. Veblen delves into the ways in which the rise of engineering as a profession has influenced the price system, challenging traditional economic theories. Written in Veblen's characteristic satirical and critical style, the book offers a unique perspective on the relationship between technology, economics, and social norms in the early 20th century. Veblen's thought-provoking analysis sheds light on the complexities of modern industrial society and the role of engineers within it. Thorstein Veblen, a prominent economist and sociologist, draws on his expertise in both fields to dissect the economic implications of technological progress. His background as a professor and researcher gives him a nuanced understanding of the interconnectedness of engineering innovation and the price system. Veblen's bold insights challenge readers to reconsider conventional wisdom and question the prevailing economic ideologies of his time. For readers interested in the intersection of technology, economics, and society, 'The Engineers and the Price System' is a must-read. Veblen's sharp wit and analytical prowess make this book a timeless and relevant contribution to the fields of economics and sociology.

Download or read book Toward More Sustainable Infrastructure written by Carl D. Martland and published by Wiley. This book was released on 2011-02-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Toward More Sustainable Infrastructure: Project Evaluation for Planners and Engineers provides readers a framework for understanding and evaluating infrastructure projects to improve their performance and sustainability, taking into account not only the financial and economic issues, but also the social and environmental impacts that affect the sustainability of infrastructure. Based on a course designed developed by the author over ten years at M.I.T., this text demonstrates how to apply the basic methods of engineering economics in evaluating major infrastructure projects and also demonstrates how these same techniques can be useful with many routine business and personal decisions. It introduces students to project management, system performance, concepts of sustainability, methods of engineering economics, and provides numerous case studies, examples, and exercises based upon real world problems. This text fills a void in the education of many planners and engineering students, namely an understanding of why major infrastructure projects are undertaken, how they are structured and evaluated, and how they are financed. Toward More Sustainable Infrastructure: Project Evaluation for Planners and Engineers prepares readers to evaluate projects based upon an appreciation of the needs of society, the potential for sustainable development, and recognition of the problems that may result from poorly conceived or poorly implemented projects and programs.
