Growth, Accumulation, and Unproductive Activity
"Edward Wolff has provided us with an analytical framework which richly describes general social productive and unproductive activity and their consequences for the postwar U.S. economy...Overall, this volume should prove to be a valuable resource to economists pursuing empirical analysis of value categories." Alexander M. Thompson III, Science and Society
This book documents the growth of unproductive activity in the United States economy since World War II and its relation to the economic surplus, capital accumulation, and economic growth. Unproductive activities broadly consist of those involved in the circulation process, including wholesaling and retailing, banking and financial services, advertising, legal services, business services and many (though not all) government activities.
