The Real Wealth Of Nations - John S Hecht - Bog

The Real Wealth of Nations: Or A New Civilization and Its Economic Foundations is a book written by John S. Hecht and originally published in 1921. The book proposes a new economic system that prioritizes human values and social justice over profit and material wealth. Hecht argues that the current economic system is unsustainable and unjust, and that a new civilization must be built on principles of cooperation, mutual aid, and respect for the environment.The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the current economic system and its flaws. Hecht argues that the pursuit of profit has led to environmental destruction, social inequality, and the exploitation of workers. He proposes that a new economic system should prioritize the common good over individual gain.The second part of the book outlines the principles of the new economic system. Hecht proposes that this system should be based on cooperation, mutual aid, and respect for the environment. He argues that the economy should be organized around the needs of people rather than the accumulation of wealth.In the third part of the book, Hecht provides examples of how the new economic system could be implemented. He cites examples from history, such as the medieval guild system and the cooperative movement, as well as contemporary examples of worker cooperatives and community-supported agriculture.Overall, The Real Wealth of Nations is a visionary and thought-provoking book that challenges readers to rethink their assumptions about the economy and to consider new ways of organizing society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
