Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book confronts the problems of industrial society, emphasizing the problems of unemployment and poverty as well as the need for a people-centric approach to the allocation and distribution of national resources. The author argues that capitalism's inherent exploitation of the working class leads to the concentration of wealth in the hands of a few and an unjust distribution of resources. The author, who identifies as a Socialist, argues that the present system of production for profit, not need, creates artificial scarcity and keeps millions unemployed, thereby suppressing wages. They stress that the government should ensure work for all who need it, urging that common ownership of resources and decentralized decision-making would help achieve this. The book includes a detailed program for political and economic change, intended as a first step toward the creation of an equitable society. It specifically advocates for an 8-hour working day, free primary, secondary, and university education, free maintenance for school children, municipalization and popular control of the liquor traffic, and the abolition of indirect taxation, among many other key tenets of socialism.
