The Engineers And The Price System (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162693583)

The Engineers and the Price System is a book written by Thorstein Veblen that explores the role of engineers in the modern economy and their relationship with the price system. The book argues that engineers, who are responsible for designing and producing goods and services, have a unique perspective on the economy that is often overlooked by economists and other social scientists. Veblen argues that engineers are more concerned with the technical aspects of production than with the price or market value of their products, and that this perspective can provide valuable insights into the workings of the economy as a whole. The book also examines the role of the price system in the modern economy, arguing that it is often inefficient and can lead to waste and inefficiency in production. Overall, The Engineers and the Price System is a thought-provoking analysis of the modern economy and the role of engineers in shaping it.The Guardians of the Vested Interests...have allowed their own knowledge of this sinister state of things to unseat their common sense....they have gone in for a headlong policy of clamor and repression, to cover and suppress matters of fact and to shut off discussion and deliberation. And all the while the Guardians are also feverishly at work on a mobilization of such forces as may hopefully be counted on to ""keep the situation in hand"" (I love Veblen)This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
