Author Description

Excerpt from The Road to Prosperity: A Treatise on Political Economy At the present time hundreds of thousands of families are suffering greatly through the want of employment, which would not be the case if prosperity existed. Many apparently intelligent persons seem to think that if we write and talk prosperity, it is sure to follow. The writer is persuaded that it requires cause to pro duce effect, and believing the present depression is occasioned by removable causes, undertakes to point out remedies which would bring about the return of prosperous times and permanently establish them. The various subjects will be considered under their respective headings. This book is not copyrighted, hence it is at the disposal of editors and others to use as they think fit, hoping they will improve upon the suggestions or adopt the opinions expressed, having as their object permanent prosperity and the contentment of the people.
