This work was begun as an investigation, continued as a study, and completed as a conviction. That conviction is that some form of Christian Socialism affords the only basis of peace between the hostile forces of society. For years we have watched the conflict between labor and capital, regarding it only as a temporary derangement of industrialism, involving no moral issue, and sure to adjust itself in due time. As the conflict continued, widening in extent, and deepening in intensity, it touched every interest of society including that of religion. The author, as a Christian minister, naturally asked himself, what relation, if any, the social question sustained to the phenomenal irreligion of the multitudes? Fortunately at this time (1885) The Connecticut Valley Economic Association was organized in Springfield, Mass., of which e became a member. It was a remarkable circumstance that this association included in its membership such political economists and sociologists as Professor J. B. Clark of Smith College, Professor F. H. Giddings of Bryn Mawr College, Professor Edward W. Bemis of Vanderbilt University, Professor C. S. Walker of the Massachusetts Agricultural College, and Dr. G. M. Steele of Wesleyan A cademy. To these gentlemen the author, however diverse his views, is deeply indebted for a fresh and sustained interest in a now supremely important subject.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the emergence and principles of Socialism, a movement born from the Industrial Revolution's impact on labor and capital. It examines the historical context of industrial systems, from natural liberty to slavery, feudalism, and finally, the current capitalist system. The author argues that capitalism, with its emphasis on private capital, free competition, and self-interest, has led to the exploitation and impoverishment of the working class. He explores the causes behind this, including the introduction of machinery, the concentration of capital, and the division of labor, which have resulted in job displacement, hardship, and the degradation of workers. The book delves into the core tenets of Socialism, emphasizing its ethical foundations rooted in principles of equality, justice, and brotherhood. It explores the concept of the Socialistic state, where the public ownership and control of capital aim to ensure a more equitable distribution of wealth and social recognition based on labor contributions. By analyzing various proposed remedies for social ills, such as profit-sharing, co-operation, and the nationalization of land, the author ultimately argues that Socialism offers the most comprehensive and just solution to address the inherent inequalities of the capitalist system.
