Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Commercial Geography Although Commercial Geography is concerned largely with the conditions of interdependence existing among the different parts of the civilized world, the deeper purpose of the study is the discovery of the causes that have been most active in creating these conditions. That this study is of vital importance is attested by the fact that in ignorance of, or indifference to, such causes, nations have often adopted policies that have retarded their progress and worked disastrously against their welfare. As applied to our own country, this study is especially stimulating; for we have advanced to the front rank in the leading industries of agriculture, mining, manufacturing, and transportation. If this prosperity were due entirely to the generosity with which Nature has showered her gifts upon us, no lesson could be drawn from it; but the history of the past, and a comparative study of different countries in the present, teach us that without man´s earnest and thoughtful cooperation the greatest wealth of natural resources may coexist with the greatest stagnation in development. If, therefore, in the face of competition that grows keener as the years advance, we would maintain our superior position, we must not grope blindly, but must know the causes of success and failure, and act with the clearest understanding. With such ideas in mind this book has been planned. It begins with a study of the influence on industrial progress of climate and topography, of social conditions, of manufacturing and transportation facilities, and of financial conditions, giving due weight to each as a factor in economic development.
