Constructive Economics

Constructive Economics is a comprehensive textbook written by Paul Gustav Lewis in 1920. The book is aimed at statesmen and students and aims to identify and correct fundamental errors in economic theories. The author argues that many of the prevailing economic theories of the time were flawed and needed to be re-evaluated. The book covers a range of topics including the nature of wealth, the role of government in the economy, and the principles of taxation. Lewis emphasizes the importance of understanding the underlying principles of economics in order to make informed policy decisions. The author also examines the impact of technology on the economy and argues that technological advancements can lead to increased productivity and economic growth. However, he cautions that these benefits may not be evenly distributed and may lead to social and economic inequality if not properly managed. Overall, Constructive Economics is a thought-provoking and informative text that challenges conventional economic thinking and provides a fresh perspective on the subject. It remains relevant today as policymakers continue to grapple with economic challenges and seek new solutions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
