Paperback

    First published in 1936, this book provides a study of artificial control schemes in a variety of primary industries, including coffee, rubber and cotton. Each chapter was originally delivered as a radio lecture, and Rowe maintains the conversational tone in his language so that the contents may appeal to economists and non-specialists alike. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in artificial control schemes and in the economic concerns of the early 20th century.
