The Employment Capacity of Agriculture
The object of the present study is to consider whether the economic forces that have operated to expel labor from agriculture have exhausted their potency, and whether counterbalancing forces increasing the employment capacity of agriculture are gaining strength.

The Problem of Development and Growth in the Economic System
[M]ost economists emphasize the elasticity of the modern monetary and credit system, which conditions the dynamic character of our economic organization. Although, however, the general process of dynamics has been discussed, the concrete steps in this process of growth have thus far not been analyzed.

Types of Adjustment in Relation to Types of Economic Structure
At the London Economic Conference of 1933 there was the chance of arriving at definite adjustments by a pari passu credit expansion in the most important countries, instead of making currency devaluation a weapon of conflict between various groups of nations. Since international action has therefore failed, we must study the different types of adjustment that have been applied nationally. The following remarks are intended to indicate the most important aspects of such an inquiry.

Max Weber's Sociology
In 1901 a pupil of Max Weber demonstrated the fact that the majority of industrial establishments in Baden were under the direction of Protestants...This dissertation provided the external impetus to Max Weber's work in the sociology of religion, which revolves mainly around the problem of the relations between capitalism and evangelical Christianity.
Hans Speier
Honor and Social Structure
Thus for honor to arise it is essential that there be bearers, bestowers and observers of honor. The observers, who are to be understood as those who pay honor, may on occasion perform the same function as the bestowers of honor, but theoretically they must be distinguished. The problem of the relationship between personal honor in the sense in which it has been used here will be discussed in Section V.

The Economic Crisis in the Danubian States
Agricultural economists have demonstrated the fact that in Europe the farther east or south a territory lies, the greater is its agrarian overpopulation... The rule applies equally in other parts of the Danube basin.

Competition and Price Changes
In his interesting article in the last issue of Social Research, Dr. Walther Lederer seems to overlook that his conclusions are valid only under one important presupposition, not expressly stated by him, namely discontinuity of the variation by which the structure of production adapts itself to price variations.
