Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Problems in Current Economics The substance of the present volume of essays on industrial economics is taken almost without change from a series of economic, financial, and statistical studies undertaken by the writer as an incident to his connection with a large public utility organization. Each chapter is substantially complete in itself. However, the first four follow a definite sequence, and the fifth, in a sense, completes the series by discussing the application to current proposals for the improvement of working conditions of the facts and points of view presented in the preceding chapters. The volume, as a whole, makes no pretense to thoroughness from the standpoint of the trained economist. Such merit as it may claim as introductory reading in economics for the business man, and for the student who may or may not expect to make a more thorough study of the science, arises very directly from the manner in which the text originated.

Download or read book Modern Economic Problems Classic Reprint written by Frank A. Fetter and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-09 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Economic Problems The outlook and sympathies that are expressed or tacitly assumed throughout this work are not so much those personal to the author as they are those of our present day American democratic society, taken at about its center of gravity. When the people generally feel difierently as to the ends to be at tained, a different public policy must be formulated, tho the economic analysis may not need to be changed. Therefore, in some cases, the author has discussed merely the economic as pect, or has referred to the general principles treated in vol ume one, and has purposely refrained from expressing his personal judgment as to the best policy for the moment. The present volume was planned some years ago as a re vision of a part of the author's earlier text, The Principles of Economics The intervening years have, however, been so replete with notable economic and social legislation and have witnessed the growth of a wider public interest in so many economic subjects, that both in range and in treatment this work necessarily grew to be more than a revision. Except in a few chapters, occasional sentences and paragraphs are all of the specific features of the older text that remain. Sug gestive of the rapid changes occurring in the economic field is the fact that a number of statements made in the manuscript a few months or a few weeks ago had to be amended in the proof sheets to accord with recent events. The author's debt for information, inspiration, and assist ance in various phases of the work is a large one. The debt is owing to many, - authors, colleagues, and students. A few of the sources that have been drawn upon will be indicated in a pamphlet following the plan of the Manual of References and Exercises in Economics, already published for use in connection with Volume I; but the limits of space will prevent a complete enumeration. I wish, however, in particular, to acknowledge gratefully the aid and friendly criticisms given in connection with the chapters on money and banking, onlabor problems, and on the principles of insurance, respec tively, by my colleagues, E. W. Kemmerer, D. A. Mccabe, and N Carothers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Problems in Business Economics Classic Reprint written by Homer Bews Vanderblue and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-09-14 with total page 662 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Problems in Business Economics The course in advanced Business Economics given in the Harvard Business School seeks to demonstrate the importance, in the forming of executive judgments, of generally accepted eco nomic principles, and especially those economic principles devel oped in recent studies of the business cycle. Most of the cases and problems presented in this'book were gathered by the Harvard Bureau of Business Research for the use of that course; very generally they concern decisions which business men have made since the armistice. For introductory discussion on the business cycle I have drawn freely on the publications of the Harvard University Committee on Economic Research, and especially upon the writings of Professor Warren M. Persons. I am indebted to Professor Charles J. Bullock, the chairman of that committee, and to Professor Persons for permission to present much of the materials contained in Parts I and III. Each of these introduc tory chapters on the Business Cycle (part I) makes reference to cases or problems in Part II, which clearly present the impor tant issues raised in the chapter. Part III contains important statistical series, together with a simplified explanation of the statistical methods devised by Professor Persons and employed by the Harvard Committee in its work. This was prepared by the statistician of the Com mittee, Professor W. L. Crum, for the use of subscribers to the Harvard Economic Service Who might be desirous of comparing statistical series of their own business With the curves of the Harvard Index Chart. This explanation is here included in order that teachers desiring to add laboratory or report work to the requirements of a course in Business Cycles or Business Economics may have a non-mathematical explanation of Pro fessor Persons' methods to place in the hands of their students. It should also be of value to business men desiring to compare the movements of their business with the general business cycle. A more complete explanation appears in Professor Persons' fundamental work, Indices of General Business Conditions.

This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Currency Problem and the Present Financial Situation: A Series of Addresses Delivered at Columbia University, 1907-1908 The occasion of the addresses collected in this volume was a desire to contribute to the understanding of the crisis of 1907, and to lay down some principles which might be of service in the reconstruction of our currency system. The first question, however, that will Obviously present itself, is as to whether the crisis of 1907 was primarily a financial or an industrial crisis; and it may be well, before taking up the specific problems raised by the addresses, to consider this question a little more closely. From one point of view, indeed, every economic crisis is a financial crisis. For since values are expressed in terms of money, and Since the modern business super structure is erected on the basis of credit, every economic revulsion expresses itself through the medium of a change in prices; and since the bank is the center of credit Operations, every crisis inevitably involves a revolution in the conditions Of credit. From this point of View, all crises may be declared to be financial crises. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Economic Thought: The American Contribution The movement to reconstruct economics was well established 'in the United States long before 1929. By 1914 Thorstein Veblen had unfolded the major features of his evolutionary or cultural ver sion of economics. In the years before the outbreak of World War I, Veblen's disciples, who then included Wesley C. Mitchell, Robert F. Hoxie, Walton H. Hamilton, and other less well-known econo mists, were enthusiastic in their defense of the new economics, which came to be known as institutional economics. 2 Academic inter est in the new version of economics became so widespread by 1918 that one of the round table conferences of the annual meeting of the American Economic Association of that year was devoted to the topic of institutional economic theory.3 By 1921 Veblen's institu tional economics appears to have reached the high-level mark of its popularity. In the years of prosperity which followed the depres sion of 1920-21 the movement to reconstruct economics continued to add new members to its list of advocates, but'it didnot slavishly follow the lines drawn in earlier years by Thorstein Veblen. Younger exponents of economic heterodoxy, such as John M. Clark and Rexford G. Tugwell, brought new emphases to the work of re vamping economic thought. These new members of the group of economists who were interested in modernizing economic science were prone to be somewhat less speculative and more concerned with immediate economic and social issues than was Veblen. They were more willing to envision economic reform within the limits of the existing private-enterprise system. Furthermore, they began to find various parts of the Veblenian interpretation somewhat outmoded. This is not to say, however, that these younger revisionists of the postwar period had developed a basic approach to economic studies which was different from Veblen's approach. On the contrary, their work was in its essentials within the Veblenian tradition. Like the pioneering leader of the..movement to revamp economics.

There are many persons in America to-day who five years ago looked grave over universal suffrage, or expressed private doubts of its success, but who are now to be found in the ranks of its most enthusiastic defenders, breathing defiance of aris tocrats and aristocracy from every pore, and con signing every form of political organization in which power does not fiow directly from the people, in yearly or biennial driblets, to unutterable failure and confusion.

Book excerpt: Economic theory reached its zenith of analytical power and depth of understanding in the middle of the nineteenth century among John Stuart Mill and his contemporaries. This book explains what took place in the ensuing Marginal Revolution and Keynesian Revolution that left economists less able to understand how economies operate. It explores the false mythology that has obscured the arguments of classical economists, providing a pathway into the theory they developed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Exercises in Current Economics This book of exercises has been prepared to accompany the author's Current Economic Problems. As complementary expressions of the same conception of economics and the same method of teaching, unity and completeness are to be found only in the two volumes together. The Exercises follows the Problems, division by division, and section by section. In this volume each of the sections falls into four parts. The first gives a short statement introductory to the topic announced. These statements supplement the introductions to the divisions in the Problems, and are intended to give to the divisions the unity which the introductions to the divisions attempt to give to the treatment as a whole. The second gives, by number, a list of supplementary readings in the Problems. These are intended to show something of the many cross-currents in economic life and to indicate the intimate connection between seemingly independent problems. Since the sections bear the same titles as those in the Problems, it has seemed superfluous to enumerate the required readings. The third gives a list of questions based directly upon the readings. An attempt has been made to word them in such a way that they do not call for mere reproduction; that in answering them the student is forced to give something of his own. The fourth presents a series of problems based indirectly upon the readings. They are intended to test the student's acquisition of something more than the mere language of economics, his assimilation of readings presenting material from divergent viewpoints, and his ability to orient his thought in the face of conflicting opinions and testimony. These problems form the real test of the student's reading and study. The character of the Problems has, of course, been determined by the theory underlying the two books. There are fewer problems calling for the mere accumulation of evidence and the annihilation of fallacies than usual.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on Some Unsettled Questions of Political Economy A prejudice appears to exist in many quarters against the theory in question, on the supposition of its being Opposed to one of the most valuable results of modern political philosophy, the doctrine of Free dom of Trade between nation and nation. The opinions now laid before the reader are presented as corollaries necessarily following from the principles upon which Free Trade itself rests. The writer has also been careful to point out, that from these Opinions no justification can be derived for any proleceifig duty, or other preference given to domestic over foreign industry. But in regard to those duties on foreign commodities which do not operate as proteo tion, but are maintained solely for revenue, and which do not touch either. The necessaries of life or the materials and instruments of production, it is his Opinion that any relaxation of such duties, beyond what may be required by the interest of the revenue itself, should in general be made contingent upon the adoption of some corresponding degree of freedom of trade with this country, by the nation from which the commodities are imported.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Problems of Modern Industry The authors of these studies had not contemplated reprinting them. But there continues to be a demand for them, even after a couple of decades; and it seems ungracious to let them go out of print, imperfect as they are. We therefore reissue them uniform, not only with our Industrial Democracy, in which the theory and practice of Trade Unions is analysed in detail, but also with our History of Trade Unionism, in the revised and greatly enlarged edition, in which the story is brought down to 1920. It is interesting, at least to the authors, to trace in these essays of the nineteenth century the forecasts of the solutions which the twentieth century is accepting. With regard to Women's Wages, dealt with in Chapter III., the reader may be referred to the elaborate Report of the War Cabinet Committee on Women in Industry, 1919; and especially to the Minority Report by one of ourselves, which has been separately published under the title of Men's and Women's Wages: Should they be Equal?
