ABSTRACT
The increasing attention recently given by governments and private economists to statistics of production and of occupations enables us to trace with more certainty and exactitude the changes of business structure taking place in the industrially developed countries. The advance of capitalistic methods in the industry, commerce, and finance of such countries as the United States, Germany, and Japan enables us both to verify and to correct generalisations based too exclusively upon the example of Great Britain, and the experience of these later followers of capitalism has disclosed some new developments in economic structure.
