The following series of papers are reprinted from theD ial, where they appeared, from time to time, during 1919. They discuss the American industrial situation as it stood at that time, during the months immediately following the A rmistice; and more particularly certain difficulties involved in the industrial situation as it stood at that time. But, since then, no substantial change has taken effect in the state of industry, of such a character as to make this discussion less pertinent now than it was at the time these papers were first printed; indeed, the difficulties involved in or arising out of the industrial situation have only come forward into fuller bearing since then. Therefore, these papers are here reprinted without change.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricacies of industrial systems and the role of those who control them, offering a thought-provoking analysis of production, efficiency, and economic strategy. Set against the backdrop of the early 20th century's evolving industrial landscape, the author dissects the concept of "sabotage," revealing its surprising prevalence and diverse applications in both labor and capitalist practices. Examining historical and contemporary examples, the author sheds light on how deliberate inefficiency and production limitations are employed to manipulate markets, maintain profits, and navigate economic challenges. The book explores the dynamics between technological advancements, financial management, and the pursuit of vested interests, questioning the true motivations behind industrial decision-making. Through a critical lens, the author challenges conventional notions of production and efficiency, exposing the often-overlooked strategies that shape industrial outcomes. By illuminating the hidden mechanisms of control and the complex interplay between various stakeholders, this book provides valuable insights into the often-unseen forces that drive economic systems. Ultimately, it prompts readers to reconsider the relationship between industrial progress, economic prosperity, and the well-being of society as a whole.
