There has long been needed a popular study of the economic and social history of property, from the modern angle. Anyone, young or old, would find this stimulating, challenging, constructive, in its vivid survey of the field, from the feudal days to the present. In searching clarity, Mr. Huberman penetrates basic causes back of economic changes. His sympathy and effort are definitely in the direction of labor and the people, and against capital, although he accepts and recognizes the contribution the capitalistic system has made. A book for older and thoughtful boys and girls, as well as for adults who wish to get a general picture of the panorama of the economic world and the wealth of nations. Grand reading. Mr. Huberman wrote one of the most exciting economic histories of the United States for older boys and girls that has been published - We the People. This carries out the promise of the earlier work, is more nature, tempered, and wise. (Kirkus Reviews)
