While checked one-fifth by the depression, the flood of inventions continues, with several newly progressive fields showing an actual increase of American patents last year. Technocratic vagaries make appropriate a new examination of the effect of inventions on labor. Of those in the present year's list only 16 per cent are predominantly labor-saving, while 13 per cent rather save land and 27 per cent capital, and 44 per cent create new consumers' goods or are otherwise unclassifiable as to influence on labor; in sum three-tenths seem to lower the relative distributive share of labor, and seven-tenths to raise it, while all, according to the economists' analysis, raise the absolute share of labor. The inventions and discoveries of 1932 are listed under nine headings
Archaeology · Business · Capital (architecture) · Depression (economics) · Distributive property · Economics · Geography · Great Depression · Keynesian economics · Political science · Positive economics · Technocracy · Law · Mathematics · Research, Science, and Academia · University-Industry-Government Innovation Models
