Insurance against Unemployment. By Joseph L. Cohen. (P. S. King.

18s. net.) Mr. Cohen's elaborate treatise, though specially concerned with British and American conditions, gives a useful account of the whole subject. Nearly half the book is devoted to a critical description of the British scheme, which is the most complete and generous of its kind. Mr. Cohen is inclined to exaggerate the value of the Employment Exchanges, because he accepts official statements at their face value and does not know how widely the theory differs from the practice. His book contains a mass of information but deserves a better index.
