The New Economy: A Peaceable Solution Of The Social Problem (1907)

By Laurence Gronlund

Book Overview

The New Economy: A Peaceable Solution Of The Social Problem is a book written by Laurence Gronlund and published in 1907. The book presents a vision of a new economic system that would solve the social problems of the time. Gronlund argues that the current economic system is based on competition and individualism, which leads to inequality and conflict. He proposes a new system that is based on cooperation and mutual aid, which he believes would lead to a more peaceful and just society. Gronlund draws on the ideas of socialism and anarchism to develop his vision of the new economy. He argues that the state should play a role in regulating the economy, but that it should be a minimal role, with most economic decisions being made by workers and consumers themselves. The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the current economic system and its problems. The second part presents Gronlund's vision of the new economy, including its principles and how it would work in practice. The third part addresses some of the objections that have been raised against his ideas. Overall, The New Economy: A Peaceable Solution Of The Social Problem is a thought-provoking book that presents a compelling vision of a more just and peaceful society. It is a must-read for anyone interested in economics, politics, and social justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
