Constitutional restraints in all capi talistic countries on income and inheritance taxes have been lifted. Taxation is today the open door to public ownership.

Excerpt from Constructive Socialism The social problems that confront us today are caused by private ownership of land, mines, tools and all other means used in the production and distribution of wealth; and can only be solved by the collective ownership by the people of these means which are used socially. This social industrial system with the form of society resulting from it is termed Socialism, but there are various beliefs in regard to the method or tactics to be used in attaining it. Political Socialism Political Socialists believe that the working class must be educated into class consciousness and by organizing themselves into a political party, gain control of the government and then proceed to inaugurate Socialism. Industrial or Syndicalist Socialism Industrial Unionists or Syndicalists believe in using the general strike or other forcible means of gaining control and possession of the industries.

Excerpt from The Case for Socialism In almost every great controversy, you will find, if you trace men's differences far enough back, that those differences arise from their failure to see clearly some quite simple and primary fact upon which the whole controversy is based. So it is with this controversy about Socialism. Underlying all the discussion about Socialism there are certain conceptions of the meaning of wealth and the nature of property. Socialism is an attack upon the institution of private property in land and capital; and the primary question which must be answered before Socialism can be either-advocated or opposed intelligently is: What is the real nature of this institution of private property in land and capital?

Excerpt from Elements of Socialism: A Text-Book Provisional definition: As we have already intimated, Socialism may be conveniently divided into four parts. No study of Socialism can be satisfactory, no definition of it can be complete, which does not consider it as (1) a oriti cism of existing society; (2) a philosophy of social evolution; (3) a social forecast or ideal; (4) a movement for the attain ment of the ideal. As a provisional definition, then, we may accept the following: Socialism is a criticism of existing society which attributes most of the poverty, Vice, crime and other social evils of today to the fact that, through the private or class ownership of the social forces of production and exchange, the actual producers of wealth are exploited by a class of non-producers; a theory of social evolution according to Which the rate and direction of social evolution are mainly determined by the development of the economic factors of production, distribution and exchange; a social forecast that the next epoch in the evolution of society will be dis tinguished by the social ownership and control of the prin cipal agencies of production and exchange, and by an equalization of opportunity as a result of this socialization; a movement, primarily consisting of members of the wealth producing class, which seeks to control all the powers of the State and to bring about the collective ownership and con trol of the principal means of production and exchange, in order that poverty, class antagonisms, Vice and other ill results of the existing social system may be abolished, and that a new and better social system may be attained.

Excerpt from The Road Ahead: A Primer of Capitalism and Socialism The old generations of Americans have given little attention to social pioneering. They have sought to build up the nation's power to produce and have let it go at that. On the question of distribution they have adopted a policy of drift. Many of these problems will be left for solution to the generation of boys and girls, young men and women, now in the schools and colleges of the country. This generation should begin now to prepare them selves for the great task ahead. This little primer is a modest attempt to help them to make a start in that preparation. It was written chiefly for boys and girls from the seventh to the tenth grades, the higher grades in grammar schools and the lower grades in high schools. It is hoped, however, that interest will not be confined to these groups. My own boy, aged nine, has expressed a keen interest in many parts of the book, while a number of my grown-up friends who have read the manuscript as beginning students in economics and in Socialist thought have been good enough to tell methat the primer has served as a valuable introduction to these studies.

Excerpt from The New Socialism This little book, written with the purpose of presenting in a popular and readable form, ideas which have been treated more seriously elsewhere, is almost wholly descriptive of a form of social and industrial organization which the writer conceives to be in harmony with the principle of social justice elsewhere enunciated. The problem of practical socialism is as old as civilization. In all centuries men have dreamed of a golden age in which all things would be made perfect, and have struggled to devise laws and systems under which men might cooperate in harmony, and all have sufficient for their needs. Yet, at the present day, the problem appears to be as little understood as in the beginning. From the time of Moses and Plato to that of the more modern Utopian imaginings which hold our interest for a passing day and are soon forgotten, philosophers have left but futile records of their speculations. Hence men have come to think of the problem as one which does not come within the sphere of exact science. He who claims to have reached a solution of the problem must necessarily face an incredulous audience. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
