Levasseur, Pierre Emile. Elements of political economy; tr. by Theodore Marburg. [*]$1.75. Macmillan.
Following practically the four-fold division of this subject, viz., production, distribution, exchange and consumption, M. Levasseur’s work is “characterized by clearness and originality of presentation, forcefulness of treatment, and conservatism of viewpoint.” (Outlook.) The work is inadequate on the subjects of the great industrial and economic questions of the day, monopolistic production, unionism and strikes, etc. There are no indexes and no lists of references.
“It is short, succinct, interesting. It may well be used to supplement other books. The translators’ work is well done.”

“Lack of logical treatment renders M. Levasseur’s book almost incomprehensible to the beginner, for whom it is evidently intended.”

“Levasseur’s ‘Elements’ is fluent, commonplace, eclectic.”
