Making National Debts National Blessings
the maxim: &dquo;National debts are national blessings.&dquo;This seems a paradox and yet its truth can readily be verified.The thought is not that destruction is the motive for industry but rather that necessity is the mother of invention.Men and institutions are too conservative.Controlled by habit, tradi- tion and routine they lag behind the actualities which evolu- tion creates.The world moves on by huge mutations and not by a multitude of mi…

Peace without Force
Taxation After the War
For the student it is not so much the question of who shall pay as it is the amount to be paid. The importance of this is increased by the fact that it is unlikely a decisive victory will be won by either party, or at least such a one as would allow them to demand huge indemnities from their opponents. Let us assume that the war continues for three years, and on that basis measure the burden that will be imposed upon the various European nations.…
The Basis of National Security
All America is united by common interests which are clearly defined and distinct from that of other nations. While we all recognize this fact, the principles involved are so imperfectly worked out that we fail to see either the grandeur of our culture or its defects. The traditional, the tribal and the battle cries of particular epochs get an emphasis out of all proportion to their importance. They cause us to submerge general principles and loft…
The Financial Menace to America of the European War
A Revision of American Policies
In every age and nation two conflicting forces are active in determining national policies. One of these is the national sentiment generated in the past, which in connection with social tradition tends to perpetuate old and often useless policies. The other force is the commercial needs upon which present national prosperity depends. In our national history both of these forces have been active and each in turn has been dominant
The Evolution of a New Woman
The question is often asked, What do you think of the militant movement that now bewilders England? Shall our women follow the course of the English suffrage movement, or should American opinion be directed in other channels? To justify the latter opinion one must explain the position in which English women find themselves. When this is understood, their action is excusable, and perhaps justifiable. Perhaps they have taken the only method by whic…
The Standardization of Family Life
In the early history of America the dress, the habits, the morality, the relations between men and women could be predicted with cer- tainty.In a home it was known both what to expect and what to do in return.This uniformity has been broken up by recent industrial changes through which the working population has been transferred from the farm to shops and factories.City life makes new demands and excites new wants.When old types of social control…

Heredity and social progress / by Simon N. Patten.
The Problem 5 quired characters.If acquired characters can- not be inherited, then the social surplus cannot be transformed into mental traits, and endur- ing progress is impossible.Biologists have not considered the first proposition, " the natu- ral surplus is a decreasing one/' and they hope that through a natural differentiation of germ cells an unconscious progress may be contin- ued.But if the natural surplus is actually decreasing, the nat…
The Theory of Prosperity
The Development of English Thought
The books reprinted in this set greatly influenced the way the development of economics was perceived and how the history of economics was viewed. Many of the titles represent the first attempts to chart the history of economics both from European and American perspectives. Titles cover the USA, UK, Germany and France, and include: * History of Political Economy from Antiquity to our days [1880]-Jerome Adolphe Blanqui * View of the Progress of Po…
The Development of English Thought
revision of the chapter on "Power," in which he confronted the same difficulty that faces every one who analyzes a race ideal (172)(173).Locke subjected race ideals to a process analogous to that of the chemist or distiller.His method is well illustrated in his Beasondble- ness of Christianity, which provoked great opposition because it destroyed the concrete pictures of the Bible (173-175).13.The Deists, pp. 175-184.Viewed in connection with the…

He also states many secondary rules, one of which shows that he saw clearly the principle upon which progressive taxation depends.&dquo; Among unequalfortunes, the loss of happiness produced by a loss of wealth, will be so much the less when the distribution of the loss is made in such a manner as to cause them to approach most nearly to equality.&dquo;& d q u o
The Relation of Sociology to Psychology
The creation of a new science is a difficult task.Seldom does a happy inspiration turn its early investigators into the right paths.Bad terms; confused ideas, misleading analogies and the inferences and methods of other sciences constantly lead them astray.Sociology is particularly open to such inroads of foreign ideas and terms.To some it is a physical science and these describe human history as a mode of dissi- pating solar energy.To the believ…

in his little work on &dquo; Trusts &dquo; (p. 4),defines a trust as &dquo; a combination of many competing concerns under one management, which thereby reduces the cost, regulates the amount of production, and increases the price for which the article is sold.&dquo;As Mr. Cook is severe in his denunciation of trusts, we may fairly infer that this definition is not unduly favorable.Now certainly it is not an evil to &dquo; reduce the cost&dquo; o…

The Economic Basis of Prohibition
IN this paper I desire to touch upon a single aspect of the important problem which is now agitating the great American public.The moral, religious, and educational phases of the temperance movement receive ample atten- tion, yet the subject is seldom treated from a purely eco- nomic standpoint.This inattention to the economic aspect of prohibition is, on the part of the economists, largely due to the emphasis they attach to the &dquo; let alone&…
The Economic Basis of Protection
The discussion of international trade has always ex- cited much interest, and must, for a long time, still command the attention of all thoughtful citizens.A great variety of arguments has been presented to the public and many of them are already fully discussed.Yet there seems to be a place and an opportunity at the present time for a new discussion of this important problem upon a more fundamental basis than is usually found in former treatises…
