Provides a comprehensive view of the economy in Palestine during the final months of the British Mandate. The deterioration of conditions at this time is reflected in The Publisher's apology: "The publication of the present volume was delayed for several months… This became necessary after a very considerable number of enterprises and offices in all principal centres had to move when the "Security Zones" were set up and also when a number of government offices were removed when war-departments and control establishments were wound up" (p. 7a).
