This age of plenty—its problems and their solution


Play all audios:

ABSTRACT HITHERTO economics may be said to have centred largely around production, but now the centre has shifted to distribution, where the problems seem to be rather more baffling and


intractable. But the world crisis, as is usually the case, has stimulated a high level of thought and discussion, for the whole world is stirred to its depths so that the standard of


emotional and intellectual activity is much higher than during the humdrum days of smooth and uneventful prosperity. Therefore we can confidently expect that a way out will be found, though


some may think a return to material prosperity a doubtful blessing if accompanied by a relapse into dullness: the majority will be quite willing to run the risk. At present the mind of the


nation is undoubtedly stimulated, and certain fundamental leading ideas appear to be gradually evolving out of a vast mass of animated discussion and suggestion, and are forcing their way to


the front, serving, let us hope, under heaven's blessing, as a starting point for practical effort in the right direction. This Age of Plenty—its Problems and their Solution. By C.
