Few functions of economics are more important, few more difficult, than that of indicating what the relatively distant future will bring in the way of employment, investment, production, etc. The problems involved and methods used in attacking them are clearly brought out in this volume by Simon Kuznets, William Fellner, Arthur Smithies, and others. The areas covered include long-range projection as a whole; population, manpower, and productivity; industrial parts of the economy; private capital, government expenditures, and foreign trade; and regional projection.Originally published in 1954.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
