Abstract
The advance of engineering has a vital bearing upon economic progress; in turn, though perhaps less obviously, the operation of the economic system largely determines the rate at which new engineering discoveries may be applied in the actual production of wealth. From this point of view Doctor Moulton discussed progress in the interdependent fields of engineering and economics in the Eleventh Steinmetz Memorial Lecture,* full text of which is presented here.
