The book is an in-depth exploration of the principles of economics and the factors that contribute to the creation of wealth in society.

Sargant begins by discussing the nature of wealth and the factors that contribute to its creation, such as labor, capital, and natural resources. He then goes on to examine the role of competition in the economy and the ways in which it can be harnessed to promote innovation and efficiency.Throughout the book, Sargant emphasizes the importance of scientific thinking in the creation of wealth. He argues that economic principles should be studied and applied in the same rigorous manner as the principles of physics or chemistry. He also stresses the importance of education and training in developing the skills and knowledge necessary for success in the modern economy.Overall, The Science of Social Opulence is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the principles of economics and the factors that contribute to the creation of wealth in society.
