Industrial Efficiency, Vol. 1 of 2: A Comparative Study of Industrial Life in England, Germany and America (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Industrial Efficiency, Vol. 1 of 2: A Comparative Study of Industrial Life in England, Germany and America
Apart from Official reports and statistics I have drawn very little upon other writers, not from any want of re spect, but because I had no room either for repetition or for controversy. I have indeed been obliged to omit much of my own matter, including two long chapters on physical deterioration and vital statistics; and though the book contains a great deal of detail very much more has been omitted. My aim has been to condense the material, which is enormous, and to focus it upon the main question.
A large part of the matter relating to Germany was published in The Times in the autumn of 1903, and I find it necessary to draw attention to the fact because in books and other publications that have appeared since then I have seen not only facts and ideas taken from those articles but also entire paragraphs reproduced word for word and presented as original.
