Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Credit, Industry, and the War
IT is hoped that this book may prove to be the foreword to an effort to help in the solution of some of the economic problems which either are, or soon will be, pressing upon the attention of this country.
The discussions arranged by the Economics Section of the British Association at Manchester aroused considerable interest, and there was a widespread demand that they should be available to a more extensive public than could attend the meetings. Under the circumstances immediate publication was deemed to be essen tial. Thus, although the Reports were interim, and the discussion on Industrial Harmony, not only as incomplete as such discussions must necessarily be, but also somewhat inconclusive, being pre liminary, and the views expressed being by no means identical, it was decided to publish with as little delay as possible.
My work as Editor has been considerably lessened owing to the invariable helpfulness and promptitude of the several contributors. Especially am I indebted to Professor Scott and Mr. Egbert Jackson for assistance in preparing the matter for press. I would take this opportunity to thank very Sincerely the permanent officials of the Association for their exceeding kindness in assisting, not only in the publication of this book, but on many occasions in my work as Recorder during the present year.
