Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Critical Examination of Socialism The subject is one, however, which, if it were to be treated exhaustively, would demand a series of volumes rather than a series Of chapters, and the arguments here set forth are written in a species Of short-hand, and at almost every turn are susceptible Of indefinite amplification. But for practical pur poses a short book which is suggestive is likely to be more use than a long one, whose argument, while more complete, might be less easily grasped and less easily available for controversial and educative purposes. What I contemplate doing at some future time is to reproduce the main argument Of this volume in a more purely constructive and less controversial form, and, having thus sketched its various parts in outline, as an introduction, to elaborate each part separately in subsequent portions Of the work. In especial, the various forms and gradations Of individual manual labor would be analyzed more fully than it has been possible to analyze them here; and a Similarly minute treatment would be applied to the directive faculties, from their simplest and most rudimentary up to their highest forms. The dynamics of motive, their relation to the general structure Of society, the difierent kinds Of life and effort imposed by nature on any society that aims at any kind of civilization, and many other subjects which need not be here specified, would all, in the same way, receive separate treatment.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Democracy Versus Socialism: A Critical Examination of Socialism, as a Remedy for Social Injustice and an Exposition of the Single Tax Doctrine A movement which draws its vitality, as Socialism does, from the poverty and haunting sense of injustice of its rank and file, and from the moral elevation and unselfish pity of the leaders, cannot be successfully met even by the most triumphant demonstration of the impracticability of the remedies which it proposes. Revolting against the injustice of existing social arrangements and the evils thence resulting, preferring the risk of failure to ignoble acquiescence, the advocates of Socialism are, not unnaturally, deaf to merely negative criticism. It has seemed to me that this is the main reason why the many and able expositions of the impracticability of the industrial proposals of Socialism have failed to exercise any marked retarding influence upon its progress. Necessary and beneficial as such expositions are, they do not touch the heart of the matter. Failing to probe the socialist creed to its bottom, they do not show that it is based on an insufficient and faulty analysis of the causes of social injustice. Disregarding the legitimacy of the social revolt which has taken the form of Socialism, they fail to suggest any alternative method for the removal of the evils which have provoked it.

Book excerpt: When socialists or their opponents turn from capitalism to socialism, and speak of how socialism has risen and spread likewise, their language, as thus applied, has no meaning whatever unless it is interpreted in a totally new sense. For in the sense in which socialists speak of the rise and spread of capitalism, socialism has, up to the present time, if we except a number of small and unsuccessful experiments, never risen or spread or had any existence at all. Capitalism rose and spread as an actual working system, which multiplied and improved the material appliances of life in a manner beyond the reach of the older system displaced by it. It realised results of which previously mankind had hardly dreamed. Socialism, on the other hand, has risen and spread thus far, not as a system which is threatening to supersede capitalism by its actual success as an alternative system of production, but merely as a theory or belief that such an alternative is possible. Let us take any country or any city we please-for example, let us say Chicago, in which socialism is said to be achieving its most hopeful or most formidable triumphs-and we shall look in vain for a sign that the general productive process has been modified by socialistic principles in any particular whatsoever. Socialism has produced resolutions at endless public meetings; it has produced discontent and strikes; it has hampered production constantly. But socialism has never inaugurated an improved chemical process; it has never bridged an estuary or built an ocean liner; it has never produced or cheapened so much as a lamp or a frying-pan. It is a theory that such things could be accomplished by the practical application of its principles; but, except for the abortive experiments to which I have referred already, it is thus far a theory only, and it is as a theory only that we can examine it. (From Chapter One)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Plain Examination of Socialism In Book I., I state certain fundamental facts of human nature, as well as certain economic principles which I believe to have the character of immutable natural laws. In Book II. Is given a brief description of the present system of human society with respect to its economic dealings; the socialistic attack on this present system, the weakness of the objections thereto, and the insuperable difficulties of remedying them. In Book III we step into the socialists' camp, take up their general proposals, examine them in detail, and show what, if anything, they must lead to. I have endeavoured to treat the subject strictly from an economic standpoint, believing that socialism in any form can only be combated successfully by presenting valid economic arguments against it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Guild Socialism: An Historical and Critical Analysis In 1913, while I was an undergraduate in Northwestern University, one of ray instructors called ray attention to a school of social thought which had just been promulgated in England. As my knowledge of labor problems and of social theories grew, I came to feel more and more strongly that this philosophy of National Guilds was of especial timeliness and significance. Accordingly, I selected it six years afterwards as the topic for my doctrinal dissertation in Harvard University, and later for personal investigation in England. Out of these years of study and of observation this book has been written. I have somewhat regretfully come to the conclusion that Guild Socialism, as at present formulated, is not the sovereign remedy that at first it seemed. I find much of inconsistency, irrelevancy, and obscurity in its doctrines. Nevertheless, I feel that the Guild Idea contains elements of vital importance to the problems of industrial relations and of community organization that so urgently press themselves for solution to-day. Consequently, I feel that there may be use for a book that states the history and doctrines of Guild Socialism, and that also attempts an estimate of its strong and weak points. I realize only too well the shortcomings that are all but unavoidable in the presentation of so comprehensive a subject within the relatively narrow compass that it has seemed wise to set for this work. I realize also the difficulty of essaying anything like a definitive critique of a movement so new and so constantly in flux as the Guild Movement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Study in Socialism I know if you do not ask me, said St. Augustine, when asked: What is Time? Most of us feel that we know what Socialism is until we begin to define it. It may be called a modern social phenomenon. It springs from modern industrial conditions as they are combined with the more modern phases of sentiment and thought. A more particular definition would only invite criticism and dispute. Socialists themselves are not agreed on a definition. One says it is a religious movement,1 another a moral movement,2 another, a humanitarian movement.3 In the Communist Manifesto it is termed a proletarian movement, in the Chicago platform, a purely economic movement, in the Gotha and Erfurt Programs and other official utterances in Europe and America, a revolutionary movement, a political movement, a working-class move ment, a movement for the abolition of classes, for better working conditions, for social justice, for the emancipa tion of labor, etc., etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Socialist Illusion: Being a Critical Review of the Principles of State Socialism Certain genial parliamentarian casually remarked in the course of one of his public speeches that we are all Socialists now. Exactly what inspired this astonishing utterance cannot readily be determined, but it is to be feared that a Close observer would have detected in the politician's eye the suggestion of a twinkle as the words were Spoken. The true orator knows his audience, and there are times when a neat but unsuspected appeal to the gallery effectively disarms opposition and ensures attention. The statement may only have been induced by the desire to humour a section Of his audience. Certain it is that for us it has no meaning, or else we are wholly ignorant of what a Socialist is and what he strives. And hopes to accomplish.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Socialism Critical and Constructive Two great forces are ever in conflict in the breast of Society - habit the force of stagnation, and reason the force of change. The former is commonly misinterpreted and miscalled the conservative force, whereas it is the force which resists life and ultimately ends in decay. The true conservative forces are not static, but are those which carry on life, adapting it to new conditions, producing new organs when new functions have to be performed, substituting new vitalities for spent ones, revolutionary in the sense that they see in the life of Society both the capacity for, and the promise of, fundamental change, but anti-revolutionary in the sense that they strive to bring about these changes by a never-ending organic adaptation. The movement that fulfils is the only true movement of conservation. In abnormal times - times when the errors of years and perhaps of generations have accumulated and can accumulate no more - this conflict breaks out in violence.
