SOVIET TRADE
The absence of a free market and private enterprise in trade compels the Soviet Government to plan the supply and distribution of goods according to its own estimates of popular demand, modified by its own ideas regarding what is best for the people. In "Soviet Trade and Distribution," published by Macmillan, L. E. Hubbard describes the series of State and co-operative trading organisations through which goods pass from the producing enterprise to the consumer; and-gives the first full descriptive account of the practical working of the system. An attempt is also made to give an approximate idea of the purchasing power of wages at the present time in comparison with former times, both before and since the revolution. The author's previous book, "Soviet Money and Finance," was a comprehensive study which was welcomed by economists. An equally cordial welcome is likely to await "Soviet Trade and Distribution."
