STILLICH AND WORLD ECONOMY

A NOTE

Dr. Oskar Stillich, Economic Studies in Big Industrial
   Enterprise
. Vol. I. The Iron and Steel Industry, Ber-
   lin, 1904.

II. The Coal Industry, Leipzig, 1906.

On looking through these, it is evident that they are descriptions of individual big enterprises (technical, commercial, and in part of the position of the workers).

{ Only about individual enterprises. No summa-
ries, no conclusions....
}}

 Of the literature mentioned, note the reference
to J. German, “The Qualifications of Factory
Workers
”, in Die Neue Zeit, 21st year, Vol. II,
No. 30.
 ((on the ousting of unskilled workers by machines
and the increasing role of skilled workers where
machines are used))
N.B.

World Economy—“A Yearbook and Textbook.” Published by Ernst von Halle.

Year of publication I. 1906
II. 1907
III. 1908

Each volume consists of three parts: 1) International surveys; 2) Germany; 3) Other countries.

The surveys are worse than in Neumann-Spallart, for they are mostly without sum totals, giving only data by countries.

Fragmentary, incomplete, unsummarised. No data for different years (mostly none). Suitable, perhaps, for separate items of information.

There is absolutely none of the scientific approach,
displayed in part by Calwer in his Introduction, to the
analysis of the connections of world economy
as a whole; only statistical raw material.
