<br/><br/> "For years many teachers of education of economics and other professional economists have felt the needs of a series of books on economic subjects which is not filled by the usual textbook or by the highly technical treative. This present series, published under the general title of the Economic Handbook Series, was planned with these needs in mind. Designed first of all for students, the volumes are useful in the ever growing field of adult education and are also of interest to the general reader." -- from the editor's introduction
