Such attempts by government to control trade are not new, but the Object would seldom be for the good of the whole except where was acknowledged the sovereignty of the people. It is interesting to glance back over such attempts to control industry made by governments, and at the same time compare the efforts made by individuals or classes to control it for their own benefit.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the rise and development of communism, beginning with the ideas of Karl Marx who believed that all value and property originate from labor. The author goes on to consider the two most important and inuential ideas of Marx's book Das Kapital: the evolution of society toward the eventual assumption by the laboring class of the means of production, and the idea that society is an organism that should control what concerns all for the good of all. The author places the significance of Marx within the context of a vast array of social movements springing up around the world, from the Chartists to the trade union movement. Though society may have moved substantially away from the more extreme of Marx's ideas, this book insists that the understanding of society as an organism representing the interests of all its members is a vital component of all social thought today.
