The Unseen Foundations Of Society: An Examination Of The Fallacies And Failures Of Economic Science Due To Neglected Elements (1893)

By George John Douglas Campbell

Book Overview

""The Unseen Foundations of Society"" is a book written by George Douglas Campbell, also known as the Duke of Argyll, in 1893. In this book, Campbell examines the fallacies and failures of economic science due to neglected elements. He argues that economic science has focused too much on visible and measurable factors, such as money and production, and neglected the unseen and intangible factors that also play a significant role in society, such as morality, culture, and religion. Campbell discusses how these neglected elements impact society and the economy, and how they should be taken into account in economic science. He also critiques the prevailing economic theories of his time, such as laissez-faire capitalism and socialism, arguing that they are based on flawed assumptions and insufficient understanding of the complexity of society. Overall, ""The Unseen Foundations of Society"" is a thought-provoking and insightful critique of economic science and its limitations. Campbell's arguments are still relevant today, and the book remains a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate about the role of economics in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
