| dc.description.abstract | The paradox of economic distress in the midst of plenty, so prominent
in the present depression, appears to be exercising people's
minds in a most disturbing manner. The world is apparently glutted
with commodities of all sorts; the machinery of production has
reached a pitch of efficiency never known before; and yet millions
have to go short. Moreover, this very abundance and efficiency
stand in the public mind as the cause of depression and unemployment.
A curse of plenty that resulted in over-luxuriance of society
might be intelligible, but a curse of plenty that shows itself in
poverty and hunger does not make sense. | en |
