Abstract
AMID the plethora of books on economics and its vague indefinite hinterland there have been, in recent years, comparatively few comprehensive and authoritative studies of prices in relation to the deep and searching problems of world trade and industry. As the authors rightly point out, the world is still passing through the greatest economic catastrophe that has ever occurred, and the rather roseate and optimistic statements on ‘recovery’ in Great Britain, mainly put forward for political jugglery and propaganda, should not blind us to the real facts. The real facts, of course, are that we still have, even in this country, a vast amount of unemployment, destitution and misery, and that these evils exist in still greater degree over most of the world to-day.
