Helene Lieser · 1926
Helene Lieser’s brief review assesses the economic yearbook edited by Gustav Gratz and Gustav Bokor through its practical usefulness. She takes its appearance for a second year as evidence of its value to users, then distinguishes its supplementation of earlier data from its principal task:
Es bildet ein selbständiges Ganzes, enthält zum Teil Ergänzungen der für die früheren Jahre gebotenen Daten, der Hauptsache nach aber eine Darstellung der Entwicklung der einzelnen Zweige der ungarischen Volkswirtschaft im Jahre 1926.
English translation: It forms a self-contained whole, includes some additions to the data provided for earlier years, but chiefly presents the development of the individual branches of the Hungarian economy in 1926.
The distinction explains how an annual reference work can retain continuity while offering a coherent account of a particular year. Lieser closes by commending the newly introduced tables of economic statistics, including population, landownership, index numbers, public debt, and railway traffic. Her endorsement rests on accessible information and coverage of economic sectors, rather than on a theoretical interpretation of Hungary’s economy. The review thus presents the yearbook as a useful instrument for following contemporary economic developments.
