The Philosophy of Wealth. Economic Principles newly formulated. First edition of the first book by the prominent neoclassical economist (1847-1938), attempting to bring American notions of property in line with a Christian socialist vision of man as part of a wider social body.While not directly advocating socialism, Clark sought to move American economics away from the conception of economic man as purely and exclusively motivated by self-centred personal interest.
