Industrial Progress and Human Economics

"Industrial Progress and Human Economics" by James Hartness is a book that looks at how industries can get better by understanding and using the skills of their workers in the best ways possible. It talks about making industries, especially in places like Vermont, more productive by valuing the work people do and organizing things better. The main idea is that when workers, managers, and investors work together well, it helps the economy and makes everyone more successful; it points out that different areas have different levels of productivity and suggests learning more about the basics of "human economics" to help industries grow and bring wealth to the local community.
