Excerpt from The True Solution of the Labor Question: A Review of the Labor Problem and of the Solutions Hitherto Proposed, With a Lucid Explanation of the Only True Solution in Accordance With Modern Social Science The Solution of the Labor Question does not lie in the province of one individual, but is rather the outcome of social science. It has been attained by our most advanced school of political economists, but is only understood by a comparatively small number of workingmen. Even the doughty leaders of many labor organizations do not fully comprehend it. There are various causes for this. Few workingmen have the means and leisure to study the expensive volumes of our latest economists; and the teachings of these works have not been adequately presented in a condensed form. This little book will, therefore, serve as the desideratum in the present labor literature. All failures in the labor movement are mainly due to ignorance in respect to economic questions. If workingmen should undertake to solve the Labor Question, ignorant of its true solution, they can impossibly succeed. Hence, it is the first duty of every worker to educate himself in this respect. This book is admirably adapted for the purpose; it presents the labor problem and its true solution, considered from various standpoints, in a concise manner.
