This article presents information about the book "The Useful Art of Economics," by George Soule. Mr. Soule's small book fills the niche with great aptness. Though he does not attempt to give a systematic account of economic behavior, the book is not lacking in pattern. It is primarily a survey of the American economic plant, its functions, weaknesses and the controls that might be applied. It brings together in a readable compass many brilliant contributions to the study of modern economic life. A trenchant commentary on laissez faire is provided by the picture of several great industries.
