Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Plain Examination of Socialism The present work is an attempt to examine and refute the theories of socialism by taking up their doctrines and proposals, step by step, and pursuing them to their logical conclusion. I believe that if the evils of socialism are ever to be prevented without the expensive method of a possible eventual trial, this can only be accomplished by a diffusion of sound economic education among the great masses who, after all, are the ultimate arbiters of our social and political future. Unfortunately, political economy as it is now treated by publicists and professors has become so clouded by masses of irrelevant erudition, undemonstrable theories, and unpractical abstractions, that the few simple principles which really lie at the base of economic life are either brushed aside or simply ignored. The result is that, instead of properly recognising these few fundamental principles and emphasizing their force, political economists have succeeded in elevating the science of political economy, so-called, into a mass of miscellaneous detail and ill-assorted learning, embracing history and statistics and ethics, and almost everything else. Such materials are hardly calculated to furnish society with protective arguments against the spread of socialism.
