Abstract

Spying Out the Land

This article presents information on the book "Recent Economic Changes in the United States." This book reports that U.S. has unrivaled stock of natural resources. It is reported that there has been a significant increase in the per capita expenditures for health, amusement and education in the U.S. Reversing old trend; industry during these years has grown less concentrated in highly developed areas and in the historical centers, and has been moving from city to country. Industrial mergers have proceeded rapidly, owing their success not to cheaper production but to more efficient marketing; and the big concerns seem to be achieving stability of prices and abundant profits to some extent at the cost of irregular operation, with all that means for unemployment.
