" 'The object of this volume,' the author states in his opening chapter, 'is to describe the development of the American economy, its causes and consequences, and to explain in some measure the emergence of a nation in which roughly six percent of the world's population produces some forty per cent of the world's goods and services' " -- from dust jacket
