Abstract
IN the second edition of this most readable book (cf. NATURE, 133, 153; 1934) Prof. Allen extends his stocktaking of the major industries of Great. Britain and their organisation to cover the years of the depression up to 1933. The statistical tables and bibliography have been brought up to date and the discussion of the far-reaching changes in economic policy during the last five years as well as of the course of Government action in the coal, the iron and steel and the cotton industries considerably enhance the value of the book to those who seek a broad view of these moat important problems.
