Problem Economics

By Frank Richardson Garfield, Dexter Merriam Keezer, Addison Thayer Cutler

"Problem Economics" offers a comprehensive and analytical examination of the economic landscape during a pivotal era of industrial development. Written by Dexter Merriam Keezer, Addison Thayer Cutler, and Frank Richardson Garfield, this work departs from traditional abstract theorizing to focus on the practical application of economic principles to real-world issues. The authors explore a wide range of topics, including market structures, labor relations, industrial organization, and the distribution of wealth, providing a detailed look at the mechanics of the early 20th-century economy.

The text is characterized by its "problem-based" approach, designed to engage readers with the complexities of economic life and the challenges of policy-making. It delves into the tensions between individual enterprise and social welfare, analyzing how institutional frameworks shape economic outcomes. By emphasizing empirical observation and historical context, the work provides valuable insights into the evolution of modern economic thought and the systemic problems that defined the interwar period.

As a significant contribution to economic literature, "Problem Economics" serves as an essential resource for those interested in the history of economic theory and the socio-economic dynamics of the 1920s. Its rigorous analysis of industrial society remains a relevant study for understanding the foundations of contemporary economic systems.
