Eugen Peter Schwiedland · 1911
Eugen Peter Schwiedland’s 1911 review of Édouard Driault’s Le monde actuel. Tableau politique et économique (1909) offers a brief, favorable assessment of the book’s pedagogical value. He characterizes it as a reader spanning economic history, economic geography, and world history, whose broad surveys can train beginning economists to attend to concrete worldly phenomena.
Namentlich die Bedeutung der wirtschaftlichen Vorgänge für die Politik der Gegenwart ergibt sich daraus mit aller Klarheit.
English translation: The significance of economic processes for the politics of the present in particular emerges from it with full clarity.
This concluding judgment supplies the review’s central emphasis: economic processes illuminate contemporary politics. Moving from the book’s disciplinary breadth to its educational use and then its political relevance, Schwiedland values the connection between economic study and observation of the world. The short notice does not develop a detailed critique; its force lies in recommending that widened field of attention.
