*CUSTOM AND COMPETITION*

By RICHARD T. ELY, LL.D., Professor of Political Economy and
Director of the School of Economics and Political Science in the
University of Wisconsin; President of the American Economic
Association; author of "Monopolies and Trusts," etc.

Topics treated under Custom include the Rent of Land and Custom;
Interest and Custom; The Remuneration of Personal Services and Custom;
Custom and Commerce.

Competition is first discussed with reference to the biological aspects
of the question, and the significance of subhuman competition is
confined and a careful classification of its various kinds is presented.
One of the main topics of the book is Competition as a Principle of
Distribution, and its treatment of the subject of price admirably
supplements the theoretical discussion in "Monopolies and Trusts."
