Civilisation: Its Cause and Cure; and Other Essays
Carpenter, Edward

BY C. DELISLE BURNS
Author of "Political Ideals"
_Demy 8vo._
_About 16s. net._
This is a description of the existing relations between British
government and the industrial system. The present tendencies are shown
to indicate the formation of an organized "economic" community, based
upon the State organization but distinct from it. The dominant
conception operating in this economic community is that of public
service. The theory expressed in the book, however, is subordinated to a
description of actual facts--the administrative treatment of labour
conditions, unemployment, commerce and finance, which will be found
valuable even by those who do not agree with the theory, since the
description is the only one which covers contemporary post-war
administration.

"At the present moment when Marxianism is so prominently before the
public, it is useful to have a translation of this monograph, which
makes clear Loria's affiliation to, and difference from, the famous
author of 'Kapital.'"--_Times._

Our Social Heritage
By PROFESSOR GRAHAM WALLAS
_Demy 8vo._
_12s. 6d. net._
The "Social Heritage" discussed in this book is the whole body of
knowledge and habit which is handed down from one human generation to
another by teaching and learning. Men have been for so many generations
dependent for their existence on this heritage that they have become
biologically unfitted to live without it, and its conscious criticism
and revision has become the main problem of human organization.
The chapters deal first with the socially inherited expedients used in
individual work and thought, and then with the expedients used in group,
national and international co-operation, with special reference to the
educational problems involved and to the present conflict between
democracy and vocationalism. The book ends with a discussion of the
efficiency as means of human co-operation of the conceptions of Liberty
and Science, and of the institutions of "Constitutional Monarchy" and
the Church. The method used throughout is the same kind of psychological
analysis as that used in the Author's "Human Nature in Politics" (1908)
and "The Great Society" (1914).
