Le Grand Espoir Du Xxe Siècle

By Jean Fourastié

Presses Universitaires, 1949, 223 pp.

Examining the record of technological progress and the great rise in productivity, the author concludes that there will be great plenty of food, raw materials, and manufactured goods but a relative scarcity of "tertiary production" including services and, broadly speaking, "the finer things of life."
