Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Socialist Argument The questions which today are pressing most earnestly for solution are those relating to Economics; they are occupying the attention of every thoughtful mind. Owing to the complex nature of our civilization these questions are considerably involved, and unless serious and prolonged study is given them they re main confusing, if not apparently insolvable. How ever, a thorough and unbiased study of the funda mental economic principles involved reveals not only the imperative necessity of an industrial democracy, but also Shows that Socialism is the widest possible application of common sense to human relationships. It is well to recognize the fact that, into whatever social state a people are born, that people are in a degree environed by a web of customs, beliefs, tradi tions, laws, etc., which tend to bind them to the past and to, prejudice them against it ovations. As we ac quaint ourselves with the law of development, how ever, we must recognize that this law is constantly Operative not only in the inorganic and the organic worlds, but in social affairs as well.
