Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Social Justice a Message to Suffering Humanity When the manuscript of this book came first into my hands, I thought I was destined to peruse a mass of dry arguments that would leave unsolved the momentous problem of social justice. In common with all the world I had recognized that our institutions were wrong somewhere, and that most people´s lives were failures - doomed so to be from birth. I had read volumes on social economics and I had heard politicians prophesy the good that was coming to the masses; but the philosophy of all the economists failed to satisfy, just as the promises of the office-seekers failed of realization. Therefore I began reading Jones´ "Social Justice" with the feeling that there was nothing in it - that it would fail to satisfy, fail to even suggest any remedy for the wrong conditions that harassed me, in common with the rest of the toiling millions of the earth. I listlessly followed page after page, and at the end of the first chapter said to myself, "This man Jones at least writes sense. I cannot disagree with anything thus far. He proves every point made." So I read on, and gradually it dawned upon me that a new fundamental principle had been found, that the correct thinking and patient plodding of Percy Vivian Jones had enabled him to fathom the causes of the wrongs which civilization has developed, and to point out a reasonable remedy. I am naturally skeptic. I view everything new with distrust. I expect nothing good in a new book, and I seldom find it. Yet, Jones´ theories of social justice have captured me completely. I endorse the book from cover to cover. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
