The Next Step: A Plan for Economic World Federation

A sweeping look at the moment when the world’s markets began to touch every corner of the globe, this work argues that the prevailing system of relentless competition has created more chaos than progress. The author traces how rising interdependence has amplified conflict, leaving Europe and other regions mired in economic disarray and social unrest.

From that diagnosis springs a bold proposal: a producers’ federation in which workers elect representatives to a world parliament that coordinates economic activity while protecting local initiative. The plan calls for self‑government in industry, shared ownership of resources, and a coordinated effort to lift wages, cut living costs, and end child labor, all aimed at freeing humanity from economic servitude.

Presented with clear, measured language, the book blends historical analysis with concrete policy ideas, offering listeners a thoughtful vision of how cooperative structures might replace cut‑throat rivalry and lay the groundwork for lasting peace.
