« AuronoMos,” in the Fortnightly Revisth :—*' One of the
iblest advocates of the Birmingham-Sheffield Policy is Professor
Ashley, whose book on the Tariff Problem is perhaps the most
effective plea for fiscal revolution which has appeared in the
course of the present controversy.”
Manchester Courier :—* Whatever other book the student
of economics may leave alone in view of the fiscal controversy,
 he cannot afford to neglect Professor Ashley's
splendid vindication of the position taken up by the Prime
Minister, and to a large extent by Mr. Chamberlain. It
contains mo padding, is an unanswerable plea for a drastic
remodelling of the Free Import system, and in our opinion
is far and away the best of the new books for the non-political
investigator.”
