This well-preserved copy of Willard J. Graham’s “Economics of Business, A Practical Treatise Covering the Organization of Society” offers a fascinating glimpse into the economic thought of the late 1930s. Published in 1938, just a few years after the Great Depression, this book likely reflects the era’s intense focus on understanding the intricate workings of business and society. Graham, an economics professor at the University of Chicago, aimed to provide a comprehensive guide to the organization of society from an economic perspective. This volume would have been a valuable resource for students, businesspeople, and policymakers grappling with the aftermath of the economic crisis. Despite its age and modest wear, the book’s intact binding and largely unmarked pages suggest it could still serve as a historical reference or a collector’s item for those interested in early 20th-century economic thought and its intersection with social organization.
