The man in the street, the businessman, and the economist all think of profit in different senses and for this reason experience difficulty in communicating with each other. Although the subject is of crucial importance in the modern economy, relatively little of a scholarly nature has been written about profits. The aim of this book is to provide a basis for a better understanding of the nature and role of profits in today's economy.Among the nineteen contributors of papers or discussions are professors of economics or business administration at a number of universities, executives of several financial or industrial firms, and government officials. Their papers present various viewpoints on profit measurement, use, and significance.The book is divided into sections on "The Problem and Its Setting," "Profits in the Economy," "Profits in the Firm," and "Profits and National Economic Policy," with an introduction by the editors for each section. The material is based on the papers and discussion from the Conference on Understanding Profits sponsored jointly by the University of Minnesota Graduate School of Business Administration and Macalester College. Harvey M. Rice, former president of Macalester College, writes a foreword. 606 $aProfit 606 $aProfit$zUnited States 615 0$aProfit. 615 0$aProfit 676 $a330.1/6 701 $aStevenson$b Harold W$g(Harold William),$f1924-$0109535 701 $aNelson$b J.
