Two ways of thinking shape our social world, and this book argues for a science-based path to freedom.
This edition presents a clear view of how modern thinking splits into old, magic-filled beliefs and new, science-driven methods. It argues that true freedom comes from understanding nature’s laws and using them purposefully to organize society.
- It contrasts the roles of the mechanic and the financier in shaping outcomes, and explains why belief in magic can mislead large social decisions.
- It defines freedom as the ability to choose how we relate to natural forces, not to ignore them.
- It outlines three core social functions—Production, Distribution, and Direction—and how science can organize them for the common good.
- It frames a practical path for building a society guided by knowledge rather than superstition.
Ideal for readers of social theory and economic critique seeking a science-based approach to social reform.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book challenges the reader to look beyond the surface of our economic system and see the deep-seated superstition that underlies its workings. The author draws parallels between the seemingly magical feats of a prestidigitator and the manipulations of money, suggesting that our faith in the economic world is often rooted in a belief in supernatural outcomes. In a style reminiscent of the social critics of the early 20th century, the author critiques the common tendency to view economic forces as possessing human characteristics, attributing will and purpose to capital and its influence. The authorââ â¢s analysis ultimately leads to a discussion of social evolution and the freedom of choice that humans possess. The book concludes with a plea for a rational approach to social reconstruction, arguing that we must learn to understand and utilize the natural forces of society just as a mechanic understands and utilizes the forces of nature. This insightful work encourages us to challenge our assumptions about the world around us and to find new ways of thinking about the forces that shape our lives.
