Government and Industry

BY C. DELISLE BURNS

Author of "Political Ideals"

Demy 8vo.

About 16s. net.

This is a description of the existing relations between British government and the industrial system. The present tendencies are shown to indicate the formation of an organized "economic" community, based upon the State organization but distinct from it. The dominant conception operating in this economic community is that of public service. The theory expressed in the book, however, is subordinated to a description of actual facts--the administrative treatment of labour conditions, unemployment, commerce and finance, which will be found valuable even by those who do not agree with the theory, since the description is the only one which covers contemporary post-war administration.
