By JOHN BATES CLARK
Professor of Political Economy, Columbia University
The Distribution of Wealth
A Theory of Wages, Interest, and Profits
Cloth, 8vo, 445 pp., $3.00
"It is not too much to say that the publication of Professor Clark's book marks an epoch in the history of economic thought in the United States. Its inspirations, its illustrations, even its independence of the opinions of others, are American; but its originality, the brilliancy of its reasoning, and its completeness deserve and will surely obtain for it a place in the world literature."—Henry R. Seager, in the Annals of the American Academy.
"Professor Clark's book deserves more attention from general readers than they are accustomed to bestow upon works on abstract economics. It is, indeed, a book written by an economist for economists, but its style, its clear and basic thought, illuminates a subject which the thinking public continually discusses."—The Outlook.
The Control of Trusts
An Argument in Favor of Curbing the Power of Monopoly by a Natural Method
Published by the Columbia University Press
Cloth, 12mo, 60 cents
"Not only has Professor Clark something to say, but he says it with such force and brevity that the busiest man or woman can find time to listen to him. Moreover, he understands the rare art of writing a preface. The straightaway manner in which he outlines the scope of his book reminds one of the famous first lines in Macaulay's 'History of England,' and promises much which this book fulfils."—Boston Advertiser.
The Problem of Monopoly
A Study of a Grave Danger and of the Natural Mode of Averting It
Published by the Columbia University Press
Cloth, 12mo, $1.00
A series of lectures first delivered at Cooper Union, New York, dealing with:—The Growth of Corporations; the Sources of the Corporations; Powers for Evil; Great Corporations and the Law; Organized Labor and Monopoly; Agriculture and Monopoly; Governmental Monopolies.
"There is much valuable analysis in the book and its reading would give a better understanding of the trust problem."—International Socialist Review.

The Outlines of Economics
By Richard T. Ely, Ph.D., LL.D., University of Wisconsin, Editor of this Series.
Professor Treub, of the University of Amsterdam, selected this text-book, after comparison with others in English, French, and German, for translation into Dutch; a translation into Japanese has also been made.
"The 'Outlines' contains splendid summaries of the subject-matter, questions, suggestive titles for essays, and a bibliography of the best writers of economics."—Journal of Education.
An Introduction to the Study of Agricultural Economics
By Henry C. Taylor, M.S.Agr., Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Political Economy in the University of Wisconsin.
The factors of agricultural production and their economic properties are first studied; then the forces and conditions which determine the prices of agricultural products, and the principles to be followed in estimating the value or proper rent-rate of land and equipments.
The Economics of Distribution
By John A. Hobson, Author of "The War in South Africa: Its Causes and Effects."
The Political Science Quarterly declared this book a welcome addition to the literature of economic theory. "By its critical as well as by its constructive work it helps to force readers out of the deep rut in which Ricardian formulas have so long caused economic thought to run."
Economic Crises
By Edward D. Jones, Ph.D., Junior Professor of Economics and Industry, University of Michigan.

By FRANKLIN HENRY GIDDINGS
Professor of Sociology, Columbia University
Democracy and Empire
With Studies of their Psychological, Economic, and Moral Foundations
Cloth, 8vo, $2.50
"The work as a whole is the most profound and closely reasoned defence of territorial expansion that has yet appeared.... The volume is one of rare thoughtfulness and insight. It is a calm, penetrating study of the trend of civilization and of our part in it, as seen in the light of history and of evolutionary philosophy."—The Chicago Tribune.
"The question which most interests both Professor Giddings and his readers is the application of his facts, his sociology, and his prophecy, to the future of the American Empire.... The reader will rise from it with a broader charity and with a more intelligent hope for the welfare of his country."—The Independent.
The Principles of Sociology
An Analysis of Phenomena of Association and of Social Organization
8vo, Cloth, $3.00
"It is a treatise which will confirm the highest expectations of those who have expected much from this alert observer and virile thinker. Beyond a reasonable doubt, the volume is the ablest and most thoroughly satisfactory treatise on the subject in the English language."—Literary World.
"The distinctive merit of the work is that it is neither economics nor history.... He has found a new field and devoted his energies to its exploration.... The chapters on Social Population and on Social Constitution are among the best in the book. It is here that the method of Professor Giddings shows itself to the best advantage. The problems of anthropology and ethnology are also fully and ably handled. Of the other parts I like best of all the discussion of tradition and of social choices; on these topics he shows the greatest originality. I have not the space to take up these or other doctrines in detail, nor would such work be of much value. A useful book must be read to be understood."—Professor Simon N. Patten, in Science.
The Elements of Sociology
A Text-Book for Colleges and Schools
8vo, Cloth, $1.10
"It is thoroughly intelligent, independent, suggestive, and manifests an unaffected enthusiasm for social progress, and on the whole a just and sober apprehension of the conditions and essential features of such progress."—Professor H. Sidgwick, in The Economic Journal.
"Of its extreme interest, its suggestiveness, its helpfulness to readers to whom social questions are important, but who have not time or inclination for special study, we can bear sincere and grateful testimony."—New York Times.
"Professor Giddings impresses the reader equally by his independence of judgment and by his thorough mastery of every subject that comes into his view."—The Churchman.
