Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a fascinating and thought-provoking collection of essays that explore the often-overlooked harmfulness of collectivist principles that lie at the root of our English Poor Law system. The author argues that the growing tendency to use taxation not as a means of providing f…or public services but as an instrument for redistributing property is seriously diverting the attention of the poorer classes from truer methods of progress. They believe that until our national enthusiasm can be diverted from the superstitious reverence with which collectivist policies are followed, and our interest roused in favor of voluntary and constructive methods, our efforts after social reform must be cursed with sterility. Indeed, such progress as the country is permitted to make will be made in spite of the empirical strivings of delegates representing greedy and aggressive majorities, animated by all the anti-social and retrograde instincts by which humanity is still influenced. The author concludes by proposing that the only true path to social reform lies in a commitment to the principle of exchange and a belief in the existence and possibility of those constructive forces in a free society which consist in developing, on voluntary lines, the natural constructive forces of a free society.
