Excerpt from Principles and Methods of Municipal Trading
My inquiries have practically been limited to the United Kingdom and to Germany, the two countries in which municipal trading has probably reached its highest stage of development. The subject is enormous, and to collect and digest the vast mass of detailed information, on which anything approaching a complete study could be based, was beyond my powers with only a limited amount of leisure at my disposal. This consideration was very important, as the information collected would be liable to become out of date before it was used, if too long a period were to be devoted to the investigations. Almost every week some new development in connection with municipal trading is occur ring, so that there is really no end to the inquiries which might be made. I have tried to survey what appear to be the most important problems relating to the subject, but necessarily there are many gaps in the book.
