AN ECONOMIST'S 
PROTEST 
RY 
EDWIN CANNAN 
Emeritus Professor of Political Economy 
in the University of London 
Demy 8vo. 460 pp. 
Cloth 16s. 
THis 1s a selection of over a hundred articles and letters, 
many hitherto unpublished, written from 1914 to 1926, and 
indicating the attitude of an economist to the events and 
opinions of those eventful years. A certain unity is given 
to the whole by the human interest which is felt in watching 
a single man struggling against the current of the popular 
beliefs of the moment. 
Scotsman.—* That this is not merely an absorbing but an im- 
portant book is due to the fact that the mind whose workings it 
reflects is that of Dr, Cannan. For Dr. Cannan is surely the most 
diverting writer on economic subjects to date. He has a grim and 
biting humour; he has the gift of happy and grotesque simile; there 
is at times in him something of that graphic picturesqueness and 
vigorous persuasiveness which marked Bastiat in his most effective 
moments . . . altogether this is a most admirable bed-side book for 
an economist; opened at random it is sure to yield something of 
value.”
