THIS
small
book consists of brief aphorisms and questions prompted
by
the author’s beliefs
in
the necessity for private trading and the
difficulties and dangers of Public Enterprise. They afford a few hints
and material for a book rather than
a
book itself.

AN
attempt to present in dramatic form an account of the economic
development of the world in the past hundred years or
so
and of the
real causes of the present crisis.
The author regards the
“
Corporate State as the only way
of
escape from the world’s present difficulties-this is the
‘
eternal
form,’
”
and it demands
“
organic planning, inspired by the concept
of a naturally decreed order without which no economic system, no
culture, can endure.”
With the problems of planning the author
does
not attempt
to
grapple. Despite the energetic style in which it is written it
is
a
muddled book, and would itself have been improved by a little more
careful planning.

useful guide

a
most
complicated piece of municipal law.

a
brief history
of
the development of the law in
which the duties, responsibilities and rights
of
the various authorities
and persons concerned are explained.
Part
I1
is an annotated edition
of
the
1932
Act itself.
The law relating
to
Acquisition of Land is set out in the
Appendices.
The second volume-containing Part
I11

the work-explains
the
numerous steps which a planning authority has to take to bring
a
scheme
into
operation as affected by Orders and Regulations.
