THE PROMISES MEN LIVE BY

by Harry Scherman ‧ RELEASE DATE: Feb. 18, 1938

Sub-title: A New Approach to Economics. Mr. Scherman has achieved the impossible. He has written a primer of modern economics which is (1) so simple and straightforward and interesting that the novice can read and understand and enjoy it and (2) is so fundamentally sound, so revealing and so constructive that the expert will find that his broader view is crystallized and his closer view humanized. He starts with the processes even a-child recognizes and goes from these, by natural steps, to one aspect after another, finally culminating in a view of the state in finance and the mystery of the business cycle which gives one pause. It is a perfect title to interest the market hardest to reach -- the public that needs education along lines of economics and that assumes economics are for the other fellow. A book for a wide sale -- which can be achieved by enthusiasm on the part of the person in the shop.
