Gross’s brief review assesses Schiff’s proposal for workers’ participation in enterprise profits. Its opening judgment makes intelligibility the central criterion:
Eine höchst confuse, stellenweise geradezu unverständliche Arbeit.
English translation: A most confused work, in places downright unintelligible.
Gross cautiously reconstructs the proposal: workers would receive a share determined by both wages and profits. Profit-sharing would also finance compulsory insurance:
Aus der Gewinnquote sollen die Beiträge für die zu schaffende Zwangsversicherung bestritten werden.
English translation: The contributions for the compulsory insurance that is to be created are to be defrayed out of the profit share.
The review moves from this outline to the proposed calculation by various commissions, whose procedure Gross finds wholly unclear. Its core objection concerns the scheme’s intelligibility and administrative specification; it offers no developed assessment of profit-sharing’s economic effects. The notice is significant as a sharply dismissive contemporary response to an attempt to link workers’ profit participation with compulsory insurance.
