A very good summary, apparently, of statistical data, the author being, above all, interested in statistics of production (quantity of products)—cf. Atlanticus!!—
Ballod believes that in Germany there are two iron slaves (machines) for each worker |

Steam | Water | Elec tricity |

Germany (1907) 8.8 mill. h.p. in industry |
(7.3 | + | 0.9 | + | 1.5) | (steam) machin- ery |

America (U.S.A.) 16.0 mill. h.p. in industry |
(14.2 | + | 1.8 | + | ?) | |||
Britain (*) (1907) 10.7 mill. h.p. in industry |

(*) Figures for Britain from Die Bank, 1913, p. 190—Board of Trade data. Results of the “census of production” for industry (all). Gross sale value = £ 1,765 million; cost of raw materials = £ 1.028 million; further processing = £ 25 million. Net value [1 — — (2 + 3)] = £ 712 million. Number of work- ers = 6,985,000. Machinery = 10,755,000 h.p. [+in agriculture, value = £ 196 mil- lion; workers, 2.8 million]. Total capital (in industry) = £ 1,500 million. |
