Guide Lines To America's Future As Reported To The Twentieth Century Fund.

The Economy of Abundance is a book written by Stuart Chase, which explores the concept of abundance and its impact on the economy. The book argues that the traditional economic model based on scarcity is no longer relevant in today's world, where technological advancements and increased productivity have created a surplus of goods and services.Chase proposes a new economic model that embraces abundance and focuses on the equitable distribution of resources. He argues that the current economic system, which is based on competition and profit maximization, has led to inequality, environmental degradation, and social unrest.The book covers a wide range of topics, including the history of economic thought, the role of technology in creating abundance, the impact of automation on employment, and the need for a new economic paradigm. It also explores the potential benefits of abundance, such as increased leisure time, improved living standards, and greater creativity.Overall, The Economy of Abundance is a thought-provoking book that challenges traditional economic thinking and offers a new vision for a more equitable and sustainable future. It is a must-read for anyone interested in economics, social justice, and environmental sustainability.This is a new release of the original 1934 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Chase is a social critic and veteran popularizer whose positivism has outlasted his reformist zeal - he makes few radical criticisms or predictions. Ten current trends are analyzed and forecasted here with statistical flourishes. The variables are familiar: conservation, demography, the nature of the economy, the arms race, automation, man's fate. The proposals are also quite reasonable - all students should have a thorough grounding in the "new science, as well as the "new politics" (with emphasis on the U.N. and international law) and the "new economics" (based on a mixed-economy model). In an epilogue, he projects the next generation's scene which will feature noiseless subways, no t.v. commercials, "new towns" which will serve as satellite population centers for drastically urban-renewed, carless cities; while the U.N. will move to an island in the Indian Ocean. Though it blurs the distinction between adjustment to a "most probable world" and the recommendations for ensuring certain probability valences, this is an entertaining futurama of What-Life-Will-Be-Like-In-2000.
