Excerpt from Industrial Freedom

Our age is distinguished by the attention given to the condition of the poorer members of society. Vast sums have been devoted, both by individuals and by governments, to the allevia tion of the sufferings of those Who are unable to help themselves, and it might seem that this pro fuse benevolence would be sufficient to neutralize the evils of poverty. But the modern sensitive ness to inequalities of condition and opportunity is not quieted by such palliative measures. The enormous increase of wealth is believed to indi cate something wrong in the existing principles of its distribution, and the world has had an ih finite number of suggestions made to it for the improvement of its constitution. Some of these suggestions are Wise and practical. They are made in the light of experience and with regard to the permanent conditions of human progress.
