9780243047178: National Perils and Hopes

Synopsis

This book delves into the moral perils and hopes facing the nation and the world, drawing upon current statistics and observations. The author argues that while society battles vices like excessive alcohol consumption, murder, divorce, lynching, labor riots, municipal corruption, and more, true reform will not come from a singular focus on these issues. Instead, the author posits that education and organization must complement any efforts at personal regeneration. Through historical comparisons and case studies, the book emphasizes the interconnectedness of these societal ills and the need for holistic solutions, urging readers to not only strive for individual conversion but also to work collectively to build a more just and equitable society.
