Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Free City: A Book of Neighborhood The present scheme is petering out; it has run its tether. A thousand years have elapsed since 1914. Our America, in the form it held hitherto, is no more booked for continuance than are the other institutions of that prehistoric era before the War. The best thing we can say about our Constitution is that it provides the machinery for its own annulment. I suppose that Alexander Hamilton let loose more currents of greed and unbelief than any other man now inhabiting the kingdoms of the dead. Does not this Potomac River fabric that he was instrumental in creating, present to the gaze of men and of angels a madder money-worship than ever before bedevilled the human species? Where else can be found so steep contrast between the extremes of wealth and destitution? That gulf sundering through the midriff of our body politic is the measure of our social breakdown. In the dungeons of humdrum, plod the toiling masses accursed; whilst in the banquet hall above, the privileged ones hold carnival. But high against the wall, the Flame-Finger is writing. It is no longer a question. Shall we change our social order? but only, What shall we change it into? "League of Nations," is the answer given by many. And certainly much sincere idealism acclaimed that messiah. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
