ABSTRACT
§ 1. There is no universal tendency for businesses to grow in size. The extractive industries show large numbers of small business forms.—§ 2. Transport in all advanced countries tends towards large capitalistic forms. So does manufacture in its chief staple branches.—§ 3. Wholesale trade is in big and growing forms: retail trade shows opposite tendencies, though the small surviving businesses have only a semi-independence. Finance is a domain of large businesses: the arts and professions of small businesses.
