The Case For Capitalism (1920)

The Case For Capitalism is a book written by Hartley Withers in 1920. This book is a comprehensive analysis of the capitalist system and its advantages over other economic systems. Withers argues that capitalism is the most efficient and productive economic system that has ever been developed, and it is the only system that can provide the highest standard of living for the greatest number of people.The author begins by defining capitalism and its basic principles, including the importance of private property, free markets, and competition. He then examines the history of capitalism, from its origins in the Middle Ages to its development in the modern era. Withers also provides a detailed analysis of the benefits of capitalism, including the creation of wealth, the promotion of innovation and technological progress, and the provision of greater individual freedom and choice.In addition to its strengths, the book also addresses the criticisms and challenges to the capitalist system, including the issue of inequality and the potential for market failures. Withers argues that these challenges can be addressed through appropriate government regulation and intervention, rather than through the adoption of alternative economic systems.Overall, The Case For Capitalism is a thought-provoking and well-researched book that provides a compelling argument for the superiority of the capitalist system. It is a must-read for anyone interested in economics, politics, or the history of economic thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
