“No brief review, however, can do justice to the masterly manner in which most of these topics have been handled. Excellent as the book is, one receives the impression that it will hardly serve as the foundations of a science. It is rather a collection of carefully selected materials for such foundations. But ‘Foundations of sociology’ is something more than a scientific treatise. It is a piece of literature—and that it is good literature few would deny.” Alvin S. Johnson.

“Professor Ross’ book is less an arraignment of the dictator-sinner, hiding behind corporations, than an exhortation to society in general to educate itself to know when our own democracy is outraged, and to the individual in particular to spend less time in painting Utopias and more in making good the things he has led his fellow men to expect of him. The discussion is pragmatistic.”
