Everyday problems in economics - Chicago American Technical Society 1950 - 544 p.

Throughout the ages of human existence on earth, men have been forced to work out various methods and different means of providing such necessities of life as food and shelter. Primitive man lived in caves and ate uncooked food. Society has advanced through a series of stages from the crude methods of the cave man to our own highly complicated economic systems. Each system contains within itself influences from the systems which preceded it; that is, every system is an outgrowth of the past. In order to present a complete view of our economic system, an economist must give considerable attention to economic development over a period of time. The subject matter of this text deals primarily with human desires and how these desires are satisfied; Chap ter I covers briefly the history of the origin and progress of our economic system.
