First Published in 1998. This is Volume VII of eleven in the Economics and Society series. Translated from Swedish, the setting was the Swedish economic discussion in the late 'twenties, the years preceding the crash on the New York Stock Exchange in September 1929 was a time of confidence in restored stability and progress. This book was planned as a frontal attack on the dogmas of the older generation and it was originally meant to be a popular exposition.
