General Theory of Law and State.

The single article by M. Fryde on modern corporations is largely devoted to explanation of the Berle and Means thesis on the control of modern corporations and the supporting findings of the T.N.E.C. The author compares this point of view to that of James Burnham to the latter's disadvantage. Although this is by no means an original approach, supporting conclusions by some French and German writers not always available in translation give this article some value. The article on Andrew Wolan by C. Jarra is the only one that provides something new for the American or English reader. Wolan was evidently a leading writer and politician in the Calvinist movement in Eastern Europe, although it is not clear what his writings and leadership contributed to modern Poland. On the whole, this volume suffers from a lack of integration or plan. In addition, no subject touched upon was explored with any high degree of thoroughness. Finally, the prefatory note that "the authors . . . do not necessarily represent the views of the Association," seems somewhat futile since very few distinct points of view are expressed. This latter omission, though regrettable, was perhaps deliberate and is understandable.
