The Science of Wealth (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Discover how wealth is defined and measured, and what really drives private and national prosperity.

This book explains wealth in both narrow market terms and broader human welfare, clarifying what is counted and why it matters for individuals, businesses, and nations. It surveys how market prices shape the value of land, goods, and services, and why some forms of wealth—like skill, will, and organization—end up counted differently across contexts. By tracing wages, trade, and the industrial system, it reveals how economies balance profit with social outcomes, and where misalignments can occur.

• See how wealth and income are connected to work, skill, and productivity.
• Learn how wages are influenced by supply, demand, and organization, not just skill.
• Understand the role of trade, tariffs, and international flow of capital and labor.
• Explore the broader idea of wealth that includes well-being, not just market value.
