and the social sciences, and notably the following : —Bernard Shaw : Everybody's Political What's What (Constable). Freya Stark : East is West (John Murray). Sir William Beveridge : The Pillars of Security (Allen and Unwin). D. W. Brogan : The Free State. James Burnham: The Managerial Revolution (Penguin books). Harold Laski: Reflections on the Revolution of Our Time. Hayek : The Road to Serfdom, and Bruce Tniscot: Redbrick Uni- versity (Faber). After which I feel very much out of breath.
