Avebury, John Lubbock, 1st baron. On municipal and national trading. $1. Macmillan.
7–23725.
An argument against municipal trading. The author shows that municipal trade increases local expenditure and local indebtedness, gives rise to awkward labor problems, seriously interferes with private enterprise and our foreign commerce, and that by reducing the demand for labor it has not only injured the ratepayers generally, but especially the working classes.

“His book, it hardly need be said, is an able presentation of his subject. While less partisan and more dignified than Mr. Porter, Lord Avebury is seldom thoroughly judicial in his treatment of his subject.”

“All thru the book Lord Avebury shows an amazing fondness for irresponsible writers and a curious shyness of official figures.”
