Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Another View of Industrialism Is there room for another work on Economics? Looking at the numbers and the ability of the works already published on the subject, not only in this country but in America and on the Continent, we should at first thought say there was not. Already they number several hundred publications of first importance. While we write we have before us a list of over four hundred works of reputation. And even these form only a small portion of the total literature relating to industry. Oh second thoughts, however, we think the very number of these works would suggest an atmosphere of dissatisfaction which exists unsatisfied by all the formal treatises yet given to the public. Pending the presentation of a synthesis which will receive the consensus of the worlds opinion, we believe that to present a view of industrialism from other than the customary standpoint would be useful and in the way of making for a final and accepted synthesis. This is the main ground for presenting to the public the following pages. But we have others. To our mind our standard writing on economics bears an air of unreality. It is not the economics of actual life. The expositions are those of doctrinaires. Their truths are presented in disproportion. Trivialities and subtleties occupy too many of their pages. More, their science is lifeless, soulless. It does not pulsate with that glowing purpose, that intensity of energy, that pervades economic man.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Industrialism IT would have been a difficult task to write the history of Modern Industrialism in a work of five or six volumes. It is a still bolder undertaking to attempt it Within the pages of a single book. Believing firmly in the necessity of a clear understanding of what our complicated indus trial society means, I have attempted neither a work of many volumes nor a compact history of modern industry, but have endeavored to show in its essentials only what that history has been in three countries, how complicated industry is in the machinery of production, exchange and distribution, and finally What problems arise from the very nature of the complicated organization with which states are forced to deal. To facilitate this treatment the book is divided into the three parts: History, Industry, and Administration.

Indeed, there is an un conscious truth ih the phrase of shallow people who talk of a man like Mr. Fenty as if he were behind the times. In one sense he is behind the times; as we speak of a man being behind the scenes. The man behind the scenes is at the back of things and the beginning of things.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Industrial Revolution The classes that labour with their hands for weekly wages have now entrusted to them much of the power possessed by the Government of this country. The future of this country, and the parts of the world dependent on it must be largely settled by the use, wise or foolish, good or evil, they will be making of this power. Their own future depends on it. If they refuse to think, if they choose to listen to fools' advice, if they do not take advantage of the opportunities they have for making themselves better, morally, physically, and intellectually, the world will pass them by speedily and inevitably. Goodwill is no excuse in face of facts only good deeds will count. Knowledge and the will to use it, and the courage and perseverance required to use it rightly, these are the necessities of progress and of well-being of any kind. Ignorance that may be felt (but that may by honest effort be destroyed) is the cause of many more of our troubles than we like to admit. Science, not Creed, is the Deliverer, if we will only take the trouble to follow it. There will be plenty of mistakes on the way, but if a man means to learn by his former mistakes, he nearly always has the chance, and the advance, though slow, will be continuous.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Coal Iron and War: A Study in Industrialism Past and Future Among critics of existing conditions and most of the contributions of to-day are essentially critical - there is a general tendency to start with certain assumptions as to the righteousness or wickedness of private property, of individ ual capitalism, of protection or free trade, of competition or of government regulation, and of all the other basal factors involved in the matter. Starting in this way, there is in many cases the additional tendency to look upon industrial growth as a matter largely under human and personal con trol, and hence one which can be praised or blamed from a purely ethical point Of view.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Industrialism and the Negroes of the United States Two other circumstances combined with the one just mentioned to produce this unexpected and deplorable result. They were the slave compromises of the Constitution and the early territorial ex pansion of the republic southward. These compromises gathered the reviving slave system, as it were, under the wings of the general government, and so tempered the adverse forces with which it had to struggle for existence within the Union to its tender condition. They embraced the right to import Negroes into the United States, as slaves, until the year 1808, which operated. To satisfy, in part, the rising demand of the South for slave labor; also the right to recover fugitive slaves 1n any part of the country, which added immensely to the security of this species of property, and the right of the slave holding States, under the three fifths rule of representation in the lower house of Congress, to count five slaves as three freemen, which rule, taken in conjunction with the equality of State representation in the upper branch of that body, gave to that section an immediate and controlling inﬂuence upon federal policy and legislation.

What did Jesus mean? Did He mean that He came with the dis tinct purpose to stir up enmity and strife, and to turn men into Ishmaelites - every man with his hand against his neighbor? No. Yet He said deliberately that He came to cast a sword in the earth. There are two thoughts that will help us to understand these words of Christ.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Iron and Steel in the Industrial Revolution This contribution to the history of the English Iron Industry is the product of the leisure, not of an historian, but of one engaged in teaching economic theory. The materials on which it is based were collected when I was on the staff first of the University of Sheffield, then of the University of Birmingham; but most of the actual writing has been done in Manchester. A generation ago writers on modern economic history found their principal quarry in blue-books, Parliamentary Journals, and other Government records. Hence arose not only an over-estimate of the part played by the State in economic development, but also, perhaps, an unduly gloomy View of former industrial society; for it -is the Pathology, rather than the Physiology, of social life that forms the subject of commissions of enquiry, of Home Office reports, and of parliamentary debates. Within the last few years a small group of scholars has attempted to re-write the economic history of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, using as a basis the surviving records of business undertakings. The University of Manchester already possesses the complete documents of four such concerns, and it is hoped that proprietors of long-established businesses will add to the collection. By so doing they will help to a truer View of the past, and therefore to a clearer understanding of the present. They need have no misgivings Concerning publicity. Houses that have stood the test of a century were not built, shamefully, on sand their foundations will bear scrutiny.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Working Class, Vol. 2: The English Industrial Revolution and Chartism The break-up of the peasantry, Lenin wrote in 1899, creates the home market for capitalism. Among the poorer sections there grows up the market for consumption articles (things for their own use). The rural proletariat consumes less than the middle peasant, and consumes products of a poorer quality (such as potatoes instead of bread), but he buys more. The disappearance of the class of middle peasants, their forcible expropriation, gave a powerful impetus to the extension of the home market and at the same time created a mass demand for goods it thus increased the division of labour more and hastened the victory of large-scale industry and machinery. One result of all these processes was the great increase in the export trade and in the importance of foreign markets.
