The list of new books includes names of several books, some of which are "Karl Marx's Interpretation of History" by M.M. Bober, "Rudiments of Economics" by W.W. Hewett, "Studies in Economics and Social Science" by D.B. Copland. Writer L.A.

Agricultural problems are properly given considerable attention and the problem of public ownership and control is treated with care and with judgment.
