Inhaltsangabe
Rethinking waste in a modern economy—from goods to idle time and beyond. This accessible exploration reveals how production for profit can generate “illth” and what that means for everyday life. Readers will see practical questions unfolded, not abstract theory.
The book surveys how waste enters the industrial system, how wartime coordination reshaped production, and why measuring waste matters. It combines historical context with clear ideas about efficiency, incentives, and the real costs of profit-driven growth. It invites readers to consider a different path where production serves human needs more directly.
- Learn how the term “waste” is defined beyond trash, including labor, materials, and energy used in the economy.
- Understand how wartime organization demonstrated what coordinated production can achieve.
- See why some goods and activities may fail to meet real human needs and how that impacts society.
- Explore questions about incentives, industry practices, and the idea of producing for use rather than for profit.
Ideal for readers curious about economic systems, industrial history, and the social cost of production.
