American Prosperity
New York: Viking Press, 1928. first edition. hardcover. 8vo 268pp. from An Essential Word of Explanation: 'To me as an individual observer at this dramatic road-side, there has come the firm conviction that modern economic conditions and even principles are the results of the thoughts and actions of business men. It may well have been that the economic conditions of Europe a century ago, or more, were determined or at least modified by the economic theses of Smith, Ricardo or Mill. But in America the forces of business have moved too fast for the building of an effective industrial philosophy upon the theories of even the best informed of our economists. The science of Political Economy traces the forces that have been at work. It builds its picture upon the established order, only to find that order swept away by the flood of new business actions modifying old forces and creating new ones."
