Excerpt from Towards a New World: Being the Reconstruction Programme of the British Labor Party; Together With an Introductory Article by Mr. Arthur Henderson, the Leader of the Party, and Some Explanatory Notes
Then we must remember that the coming period of reconstruction, even more than the remaining period of the war, will impose upon the leaders of all the civilized States new and searching tests of character and intellect. As we draw nearer to the end of the war we begin to see more clearly the magnitude of the problems that peace will bring. So vast, intricate, and fundamental have been the changes wrought during the last three and a half years that we are sometimes tempted to think the will and intelligence of men will be unequal to the task of dealing with them.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the political manifesto of the British Labour Party, formulated in the wake of World War I. The author argues that post-war reconstruction should focus on creating a new social order based on democratic control of industry, public ownership of key sectors, a universal minimum wage, and a commitment to social justice. This vision contrasts with both the liberal capitalism and conservative statism of the time, and seeks to establish a more equitable distribution of wealth and power. The book critiques the failures of the pre-war system and proposes a comprehensive plan for a society that prioritizes the well-being of all its members. This book will appeal to those interested in the history of socialism, the development of the welfare state, and the ongoing struggle for a more just and democratic world.
