Industry And Human Welfare (1922)

Industry and Human Welfare is a book written by William Ludlow Chenery and published in 1922. The book explores the relationship between industry and the well-being of human society. Chenery argues that industrial progress should not be pursued at the expense of human welfare, and that it is the responsibility of industry leaders to ensure that their actions benefit society as a whole. The book is divided into two parts. The first part discusses the history of industrialization and its impact on society. Chenery examines the effects of industrialization on working conditions, wages, and social inequality. He also explores the role of government in regulating industry and protecting workers' rights. The second part of the book looks at specific industries and their impact on human welfare. Chenery examines the effects of the coal, iron, and steel industries, as well as the automobile industry. He also discusses the role of labor unions in protecting workers' rights and improving working conditions. Overall, Industry and Human Welfare is a thought-provoking examination of the relationship between industry and society. Chenery's arguments are still relevant today, and the book provides valuable insights into the challenges facing modern industrial societies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
