Abstract
THOUGH widely different in subject-matter and approach, both these books are attempts to illuminate tendencies of the present by the analysis and synthesis of historical material, and both are concerned with the new opportunities for the development of civilization that now present themselves. In his introduction Dr. Gutkind directs attention to “the discrepancy between social conditions and the economic and technological possibilities” of the modern world, and calls for “an adjustment to new ways of life” by a “revolution of environment” that will produce a more balanced life within and between the nations. Mr. Dobb is concerned primarily with historical analysis, but he, too, has something to say of present trends, and his conclusions are of particular interest at a moment when the problems arising from a policy of 'full employment' and from the economic difficulties of Great Britain are so much in the air.
