Economic Statesmanship PDF Download

Excerpt from Economic Statesmanship: He Great Industrial and Financial, Problems Arising From the War Economic Statesmanship has been very kindly received by both Press and public. The 1,800 copies of the first edition were quickly sold out, and as there was a continued demand for the book the question of a new edition had to be considered. Some of my critics, while giving unstinted praise to the work, expressed regret that I had not treated in it various important economic problems which have come to the forefront since the time when the book went to press. Others complained that I had not made use of the numerous and very valuable reports published by the British Board of Trade and the Ministry of Reconstruction, the majority of which, unfortunately, appeared too late for consideration and use. As they had urged me to make good these omissions should a new edition be called for, I reluctantly resolved to undertake the labour of expanding and improving the second edition in accordance with their wishes. The present edition is a very greatly enlarged one. Ten chapters, running to more than 200 pages, have been added to the original fifteen chapters. About 100 pages of new matter are devoted to an examination of the economic position and future of Russia and of Japan, to the problem of the British Merchant Marine and of the British Inland Transport System, to the British Coal Problem, and to the Land and Housing Problem in town and country.
