“To the present reviewer at least Mr Wilton’s habit of intemperate statement largely vitiates whatever of truth there may be to his charges. This allowance being made, however, the present work is really invaluable as historical evidence, and simply as a human document and a dramatic picture of life it possesses a profound and poignant interest.” J: Bunker

20–18322
Short articles reprinted from The Times (London) Trade Supplement. “In preparing them for American publication, only such editorial interpolations were made as were considered desirable in order to make the talks more readable for an American audience.” Among the subjects are: The partners; Paying our way; The origin of wealth; The pillars of society; What is capital? The sanity of society; The cost of an article; What is money? Money and prices; What banks do for us; What is the worker entitled to? What are profits? The ideal factory; The upward path.
“They are clearly worded, aptly illustrated, and the lessons are easily understandable. He is talking rather to employers in his book than with workers, for he makes no point of contact with the latter.”

“There is a bit too much of a literary quality about it, and it is too advanced in subject matter for consumption by American factory labor much below the rank of foreman. But with suitable modifications it could be adapted to the requirements of any given group. In the hands of an able and resourceful teacher it would be an admirable text in conventional economics for secondary schools or even college freshmen.” E. R. Burton
