Abstract
PROF. HUTT has obviously enjoyed the preparation of this book. There are few writers on economics or its applications in social and political problems from Adam Smith, J. S. Mill, Herbert Spencer and Ricardo to J. M. Keynes, J. A. Hobson, W. Lipp-mann, H. Levy, H. J. Laski, Bertrand Russell and others of our own day at whose teachings he does not direct some shrewd blows. The charge of anonymous criticism which he condemns in Prof. Pigou's “Theory of Unemployment” can scarcely be brought against Prof. Hutt, who rarely fails to specify exactly the writer or teacher responsible for the views he criticizes.
