Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Government Ownership in Production and Distribution: Being an Account of 337 Existing National and Municipal Undertakings in the 100 Principal Counties of the World As this is, so far as the writer knows, the first investigation of the kind, it would be unreasonable to hope it to be free from mistakes, or that it should tell the whole story. It will be found to fall far, very far, below a full statement of an enumeration of the now actually socialized institutions and enterprises of the various leading governments of the world. But that a book is needed, such as the writer has tried to furnish, all reformers must agree who have come in contact with the surprising stupidity and ignorance displayed by many concerning the magnitude of existing concrete socialism. An English aristocract and high official of the British consular staff, in this country, whom I visited in the hope of securing data for the chapter on Great Britain in this book, in answer to my request for information concerning socialized businesses in his country, answered: "Be assured, my dear sir, that we have none of those things in H´ingland; we there believe in individualized h´enterprise. H´individualism is the basis of our h´institutions." While this representative of the British government was thus assuring me that in "H´ingland" all business was conducted by "H´individuals," I had in my pocket a list of two hundred and sixty-nine enterprises, that in his country are owned and operated by the government, and the list was still incomplete. Mr. Sidney Webb in his Socialism in England (p. 65) says: "The ´practical man,´ oblivious or contemptuous of any theory of the Social Organism or general principles of social organization, has been forced by the necessities of time, into an ever deepening collectivist channel. Socialism, of course, he rejects and despises. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
