408 Pages. Complete & Unabridged.Speaking of Professor Veblen's book, "The Theory of Business Enterprise," a writer in the Economic Review (London) points out that one of the two schools of thought which attack existing social conditions vehemently denounces the wealth of the millionaire in a somewhat crude and unreflective manner, while the other school, says the same writer, holds that the real evil lies in our inability to produce enough wealth to overcome the struggle for existence. This inability is the result of our unscientific methods of production, and undue competition. The real remedy is to put production on a scientific basis. As a representative of this latter class Professor Veblen wages war on the whole school of orthodox political economists, and declares that they have not yet adapted themselves to modern industrial methods.* * *In his "The Theory of Business Enterprise," Thorstein Veblen stirs up so many startling theories that many university men on both sides of the water cannot help but marvel at what they call the originality and daring of the author. It will be our pleasure to give our readers an exhaustive digest of Professor Veblen's work sometime in the near future.—The University Digest, Vol.1 [1906]
