INTRODUCTION
CONTENTS
ILLUSTRATIONS
CHAPTER I THE COMING CRISIS
CHAPTER II INDUSTRIAL EVOLUTION
CHAPTER III MARKETS AND MISERY
CHAPTER V BUSINESS AND POLITICS
CHAPTER VI THE REVOLUTION
A bold, forward‑looking essay, this work treats the United States as a living organism in the midst of a profound transformation. Drawing on the language of evolution, the author surveys the political parties, corporations, labor unions, newspapers, colleges and churches that shape everyday life, asking how the forces at work today might reshape the nation within a decade. The narrative balances clear explanations of current institutions with a compelling vision of an “Industrial Republic,” where production and distribution are organized on the principle of equality and the fruits of labor belong to those who create them.
Listeners will find a thoughtful blend of social science and practical observation, as the author maps the shift from political to industrial sovereignty and explores what a society governed by industrial democracy could look like. The book invites readers to weigh the emerging trends of its time and consider whether America’s next chapter will indeed be defined by a new kind of collective ownership.
