Successful Living in this Machine Age" is a 1931 work Edward Albert Filene that explores how society would be effected by the "new Industrial Era" ushered in with the advent of mass production. Filene predicted that, though technological advances and "scientific salesmanship", living standards would be raised to a level of comfort unimaginable for people in his time. In this volume, he attempts to outline how and why this might happen, as well as discuss what changes it would bring to all aspects of life. Contents include: "Mass Production and Successful Living", "Mass Production and Buying Power", "Mass Production and The Consumer's Dollar", "Mass Production and Credit", "Mass Production and Unemployment", "Mass Production and The Second Industrial Revolution", "Mass Production and The Family", "Mass Production and Politics", etc. Edward Albert Filene (1860-1937) was an American philanthropist and businessman most famous for founding the Filene's department store chain and for his pioneering role in credit unions across the USA.
