Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Timely Inquiry Into: The Effect of Labor-Saving Machinery on Production, the Wages of Labor, the Distribution of Wealth, and the Source of the Labor Fund; Together With a Discussion as to the Sagacity or Short-Sightedness of the Individualist and Collectivist Points of View Social unrest and discontent among the masses of the people are very evident today among all the civilized nations of the world. Many competent observers have ascribed this to the great war, which unsettled the minds of multitudes of people and strengthened the tendency to violence and disorder. But even before the war, there had been for many years a gradual increase of unrest among the workers of all civilized nations. This was due to a variety of causes, some of which date back to the great French Revolution. That mighty upheaval was brought about by the intellectual movement! of the eighteenth century which had slowly but surely undermined the faith of the masses of the people in revealed religion and in the divine right of kings and nobles. This process had been going on for several generations until it had completely sapped the foundations of the old feudal system and it needed only a spark to cause its overthrow. These two beliefs were the moral foundation of the old regime which secured it unquestioning obedience on the part of the people and gave it that stability which comes only from the perfect harmony between social consciousness and political and economic systems.
