...conclusion, it was very easy to like The Cocktail Party for the wrong reason; it is even more simple to dislike The Confidential Clerk for something it does not pretend to be. In its evangelical message, it seems strangely more Calvinistic than Anglican (man find God through himself without mention of the church and with a predestined role). And these moralistic overtones make the characters into theological robots rather than into the crisp, little chessmen of The Cocktail Party.

...point in his analysis of the 1929 crash does Clark mention the collapse of the huge, artificially bloated stock-market balloon nor the careful measures taken since then to prevent a repetition of this phony boom. Thus, his "complete list" of depression causes not only lacks the chief ones but is in error in the causes cited. For example, instead of being abundant, money in 1929 became so short that the call rate roseto 20%; Government spending, instead of declining, was actually up for the year. In any case, any rise or fall in Government spending would have been...
