Beschreibung

Thorstein Veblen's "The Engineers and the Price System" presents an incisive critique of the capitalist economic structure, highlighting the conflicting roles of engineers and industrialists. Through a combination of rigorous economic analysis and a unique sociological perspective, Veblen employs a distinctively analytical literary style to explore how the priorities of engineers, who emphasize efficiency and innovation, clash with the profit-driven motives of the market system. This tension reveals broader implications for modern industry and reflects Veblen's concerns regarding the detrimental impact of predatory capitalism on technological advancement and societal welfare. Veblen, a pioneering figure in the field of institutional economics, was profoundly influenced by his observations of industrial society at the turn of the 20th century. His background in sociology and economics allowed him to dissect the intricacies of social behavior and economic practices, providing valuable insights into the motivations that drive both engineers and capitalists. Veblen's earlier works, such as "The Theory of the Leisure Class," set the stage for this profound exploration of the intersections between technology, engineering, and economic systems. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in economic theory, sociology, and the ongoing dialogue surrounding technological progress in a capitalist society. Veblen's thought-provoking arguments urge readers to reconsider the alignment of technological capabilities with market demands, making "The Engineers and the Price System" an essential read for anyone looking to grasp the complexities of modern industrial life.

    During the 2008 presidential campaign, Obama promised time after  time "a net spending cut" to make government smaller in order to  cut the deficit. But the huge increase in government spending and  debt, and the resulting higher future taxes will make America a  poorer country. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the  deficits that President Obama proposes for the years from 2011  through 2020 come to a staggering $126,000 per family of four. That  is on top of the $35,000 per family already chalked up under the  first two years of Obama's administration. But has all the new  government been worth it? Are Americans happier because the  government has determined where this money should be spent? The  answer is clearly no.   Obama's economic policies have raised unemployment, slowed  economic growth, dramatically raised the national debt, squandered  taxpayer money through poor investments, and further damaged the  housing market. The economy will eventually grow, though slowly.  The No Tax Pledge will explain why Obama's policies on  spending, taxes, regulation have all worked to harm the recovery,  increased unemployment, and depressed housing prices. This debate  is part of a broader debate over Keynesian economics most notably  involving Paul Krugman in the New York Times. The authors  plan on dissecting these arguments and explaining why Keynesianism  represents more a way of transferring wealth to desired political  constituencies than it provides a legitimate economic theory for  how the economy operates.

    Not every leader is in a management position and not all people in management positions are leaders. This book identifies several of the traits of the most effective leaders across the different hierarchies of an organization and provides an insight to how they differentiate themselves from the pack. While not a checklist for how to get promoted, it is a tool that one can evaluate oneself against to see how well they relate. If you are in a management position, the book does highlight areas that will have an impact on whether your team will go beyond the respect for the title or position you have, to more of a respect and trust of you as an individual. A quick read, somewhat entertaining, but with real life examples, the book is meant to be a somewhat reference guide to be referred to when needed.
