Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from America and the New Era: A Symposium on Social Reconstruction In an age of specialization, one´s activities are necessarily delimited by the professional interest. However, the great war has affected more than the vocational superstructure of our lives. It has rocked the foundations of civilization, and compelled the revaluation of many standards far more vital and more basic than the vocational. This fact may explain, if it does not justify, this excursion afield of a student of economics. The war has changed many of the conditions of living which demand analysis. Unlike the chemist or physicist, the student of the social sciences Cannot vary the conditions of his experiments, but must wait until the processes of history afford him an opportunity to observe variations in phenomena, and to study their causes. The war has upset some accepted articles of faith, but it has confirmed many others, which not only stood the test of war, but determined the victory. Many new needs have arisen and some old tendencies have become clearer. We are entering a new era. We may do so blindly, or we may attempt to crystallize our ideas on the issues arising out of the war for the purpose of intelligently controlling social forces. The problems of social and of political adjustment, and of the conservation of human resources, are neither less pressing nor less significant to the country than are the economic and financial questions, which have riveted the attention of statesmen and publicists during the past year. The little attention which the social problems have received is not a criterion of their relative importance in the life of the American people. It is characteristic of human nature to neglect those problems which, though they deal with the most fundamental aspects of the national life, lack the driving force of the economic motive. This volume is a sequel to "American Problems of Reconstruction, a Symposium on the Economic and Financial Aspects."
