The bearing on industry of the impending changes in Irish education
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)The decay of so many of their industries, and the persistent inadequacy of the remunerative employments remaining available for them, have weighed down the spirits of the Irish people for so many sad years, that a man ... -
British finance of the war
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1917)My desire is to ascertain how the United Kingdom is financing this war; how is the money being found for the vast expenditure which is necessary; how much is being found by loans, and how much by taxation; and of the ... -
Cartels and syndicates in German industry
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)The object of this paper is to give some account of these German industrial organisations, known as Cartels and Syndicates. I am afraid not many of us in this country paid much attention to them until the question of " ... -
Changes in Irish exports (second paper)
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1919)In a previous Paper (read to this Society on April 26th, 1918) I analysed the figures for the Exports at Irish Ports which have been published by the Department of Agriculture and Technical Instruction for Ireland for ... -

The economic interests involved in the present war
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1915)Adam Smith, in his final chapter, treats of Public Debts; he points out why the sudden and great expenditure on warfare is always met by borrowing instead of by increased taxation: "By means of borrowing," he says, ... -
The economics of "industrial revival" in Ireland
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1912)I am anxious in this paper to promote an amicable discussion upon the question whether the people who are promoting the Industrial Development are "doing just what will have the opposite effect to that which they intend" -
The education of American business men
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1912)There is in the modern business world, on the one hand, a new consciousness that education is an economic power which must be availed of. There is a growing feeling among statesmen and educationists, on the other hand, ... -
The fluctuating character of modern employment.

Some perplexities in regard to the agricultural statistics of Ireland
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1925)Certainly, if we leave aside political issues for the moment and consider economic problems only, then the capacity of a people for self-government can be pretty well measured by their capacity to handle statistical ... -
Technical education for commerce
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)I imagine that to many of my audience tonight there must appear to be something incongruous about the title of this paper. Technical Schools are well understood in these countries to mean institutions that educate ...
