Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Prices and Price Control in Great Britain and the United States During the World War
The part of the work dealing with price control in the United Kingdom was finished in July, 1918; that which con siders prices and price regulation in the United States was begun in November, 1918, and concluded in June, 1919. Detailed discussions of such items as causes of the rise in prices, profiteering, industrial unrest, which are included in the treatment of price control in Great Britain, are omitted from the part considering price fixing in the United States; this was done chie?y because such an inquiry, although it would have presented some additional illustrative material, would have involved too much repetition and lengthened considerably the study, without aiding either in the statement of the problems or in their elucidation. On the other hand, the consideration of the control of articles directly used for war purposes, such as iron and steel, copper, hides and leather, etc., which is omitted from the part dealing with Great Britain, is included in the investigation of price fixing in the United States.
