Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Social System: A Treatise on the Principle of Exchange A long period has elapsed since my mind was first impressed with the belief that there exists in the heart and vitals of society some deeply rooted but concealed disease; and continued reflection upon the subject, has only tended to confirm and strengthen the opinion. A notion appears to prevail amongst mankind, that there exists in our Social System a self regulating principle, and that the stream of commerce, like that of water, only requires to be let alone to find its own level, and to flow on smoothly and prosperously. Ten years ago, I doubted, and I now deny, the existence of any such principle. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
