Excerpt from Successful Living in This Machine AgeHe comes as near to being the philosopher of our machine economy as we have yet produced. More than any other American, and before any other American, he foresaw and formulated the social significance of mass production and mass distribution, if and when these processes are subjected to statesmanlike direction. We need his sanity and his seer ship respecting the machine economy just now, for, with an undue continuance of the world-wide depression, men will be powerfully tempted to rebel against the machine economy, as if it were to blame for their troubles, whereas their trou bles have come upon them, not because the machine economy has been developed, but because the machine economy has not been fully met by a new business statesmanship that sees it for the instrument Of economic stabilization and social enrichment that it is. Men are everywhere blaming the ma chine order for sins that lie rather at the door Of the economic order.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
