"This little collection of essays is highly instructive to both the lawyer and legislator and while its references are solely to the situation as it exists in England, its lesson is one that might well be heard in the United States." - S.H. Hofstadter, in Columbia Law Review
Anderson, Benjamin M. Economics and the Public Welfare. Van Nostrand. 1949. 602 pp.
An economic and financial history of the United States from 1913 to a little beyond the end of World War II. I take the liberty of quoting from my own forward to the book: "[Anderson's] The Value of Money [1917] is one of the classics of American economic writing. ... The present work is destined to take a similar rank among American economic and financial histories. It is already the outstanding economic and financial history for the period it covers. ... Few economic histories have ever interlaced theory and interpretation so completely and successfully with the record of the facts. ... Its sense of drama, its unfailing lucidity, its emphasis on basic economic prinsiples, its recognition of the crucial roles played by oustanding individuals, its realistic detailed description of the disastrous consequences of flouting moral principles or of trying to prevent the forces of the market from operating, combine to give this book a sustained readability seldom found in serious economic writing."
