by Rudolf Cronau (Author)

""Our Wasteful Nation: The Story Of American Prodigality And The Abuse Of Our National Resources"" is a non-fiction book written by Rudolf Cronau in 1908. The book discusses the issue of wastefulness and overconsumption in American society, particularly in relation to the nation's natural resources. Cronau argues that Americans have a tendency to exploit and deplete natural resources without regard for the long-term consequences, leading to environmental degradation and economic instability. The book explores various examples of wastefulness, including the destruction of forests, the depletion of soil fertility, and the overfishing of oceans. Cronau also critiques the capitalist system and the role of corporations in perpetuating wasteful practices. Overall, ""Our Wasteful Nation"" is a call to action for Americans to adopt more sustainable and responsible practices in order to preserve the country's natural resources for future generations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
