Readings Of The Relation Of Governments To Property And Industry PDF Download

Excerpt from Readings on the Relation of Government to Property and Industry This volume has been prepared, primarily, for use in a class studying the relations of government to industry, a subject just now in that eager ferment through which all important issues pass before reaching even a temporary equilibrium. We are in the midst Of swift changes affecting business and property, changes that touch the daily activities of everyone at the bread-and butter point. We cannot be said to have reached a fixed policy. Even the courts, those sanctuaries of stability, are groping their way along the new paths of police power and are attempting the difficult task of reconciling our constitutional traditions with new administrative functions. There can be, therefore, very little permanent literature upon so shift ing a subject. But there is a vast amount of current literature, and this volume attempts to bring together some of the most significant of these current discussions. Inasmuch as the question of the relation of government to business and property is principally one of constitutional and legal relations, the articles here reprinted are largely-of a legal nature, and most of them have been 'taken from a source heretofore almost entirely neglected by the lay student, the law journals, repositories of much careful research and concise thinking on this subject. While attempting to avoid controversial material, it has been necessary to present various phases Of issues still in the propagandist stage.
