In this book Professor Taussig points out various 

 relations between economics and psychology, and 

 analyzes those human instincts which have a bear- 

 ing on man's economic activity. The instinct of 

 contrivance is one of great significance in the field 

 of business enterprise ; the author considers it in 

 detail, and discusses the problem of money-making 

 as it relates to invention. Something is said about 

 the instinct of contrivance as it affects the ordinary 

 workman or employer, about the best mode of stim- 

 ulating it, and about its relation to human happi- 

 ness. 



Under the caption of the psychology of money- 

 making, Professor Taussig considers the motivation 

 of the business man and industrial leader. The 

 love of money he finds to be a compound of a num- 

 ber of impulses. He analyzes the instincts of col- 

 lection or ownership, of domination or the love of 

 power, and of emulation : the last named more par- 

 ticularly as regards social distinction. At the close 

 he considers also the altruistic sentiment or what he 

 calls the instinct of devotion.
