Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the dynamic relationship between social progress and industrial society. The author, an esteemed scholar in education, argues that true progress should be conscious, intelligent, and peaceful, accessible to each individualâ"not exclusive to the elite or achieved through revolution. The author contends that the dominant principle of modern industrial societyâ"competitionâ"is only of temporary value, diminishing in importance as we approach the goal of industry, which is cooperation. By examining the economic, political, and social implications of the Industrial Revolution, the author argues for a transformation of the existing system to one where industry and work conform to the true end of existenceâ"Life. The author concludes that only through this transformation can we realize a society that prioritizes the wellbeing of the individual within the framework of collective progress. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the history and future of industrial society and its profound impact on our lives.
