Abstract

Trade and the Social Order
Levin, Harvey | May 27, 1950 issue

add to cart   close window

The article shows how economists are constantly upbraided by their literary brethren for writing to one another in phrases unintelligible to the laymen who were once their traditional audience, through the book "The Commerce of Nations," by J.B. Conclliffe and W.W. Norton. The author has tried to communicate with this wider audience by discarding technical jargon and spelling wit. His excellent description of the Foreign-trade market is highly informative. From the long narrative emerges essentially one theme. Throughout history, social policies have been rendered obsolete by changes in underlying economic conditions.
