Synopsis
Excerpt from Injustice and National Decay: An Essay
The chief value of history to the present generation lies in the philosophy of history - lies in showing how far the present is the productof the past. Hence the philosophy of history should be sound.
The building of such a structure requires a knowledge of the civilizations. Of past ages.
The power of generalization is required. The factors of all of this move and pause, the cause of life and death, common to all, must be traced through the existence of each succeeding nation, if, in our search, we are to ascertain whether the cause of death was old age or disease - natural or artificial.
No remarkable discernment is required to see that each civilization evolves and passes on to its successor a gift of gain in progress.
This gain of permanent value seems to be the only way in which history repeats itself except in passing through a term of life.
History seems never to repeat a program. That is, the form through which national life is expressed seems never to be repeated.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book discusses the history of nations and civilizations, as told through the lens of economics and political structures. The author posits that all societies are destined to rise and fall and that this cycle is driven by the interplay between conservative and progressive forces. When the pendulum swings too far in the direction of conservatism, nations stagnate and decline. When it swings too far in the direction of progressivism, societies collapse into chaos. The key to stability and prosperity lies in finding a balance between the two. The author provides a comprehensive overview of the different political systems that have been tried throughout history, from monarchy to democracy. He argues that no one system is perfect and that the best system for a particular society depends on its unique circumstances. The key is to find a system that promotes justice, equality, and opportunity for all citizens. This book is a timely and important contribution to the ongoing debate about the future of democracy. The author offers a fresh perspective on the challenges facing our societies and provides a roadmap for building a more just and sustainable future. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
