ABSTRACT
The Theory of Production, as treated in most text-books, aims at the solution of two problems—that concerning the Aim and Nature of the Productive Process, and that concerning its Method. On the first problem, there would appear to be little to be said. Almost any standard text deals with the subject more or less adequately, and R. Zuckerkandl's article entitled Zur Produktionslehre, 1925, SchmJb 49, pp. 1231–68, covers the ground in a satisfactory manner. On the special concept of unproductive labour, P. Mombert's article on Produktive und Unproduktive Arbeit, 1918, CJb 110, pp. 305–10, is worth referring to in conjunction with his previous article in ZS 8.
