HpHESE essays are mainly devoted to phases of the industrial problem. The paucity of output by our competitive system, after more than a century of production by power, is demonstrated, and an attempt is made to outline an industrial system calculated to yield a full harvest to Science while securing for the individual, albeit in an organised society, a maximum of personal liberty. The conception of and argument for The Great State that the whole of the adult population should be organised to produce a high minimum standard of life, and that such organisation would yield to the whole community not only the materials of such a standard but a quality and degree of leisure and liberty at present undreamed of have been already given to the world by a body of writers under the editorship of Mr. H. G. Wells, and part of the essay entitled The Future of Work, which appears in this volume, has been before published.
