Excerpt from Plain Sense
They claim no literary merit: their aim is to interest and elicit the sympathy of others who hold similar Opinions but, possessed Of more 'reticence than the writer, hesitate to express them in public. It is high time that the Middle Classes began to assert themselves. Hitherto the only classes whose opinions we have either heard or read. Are the Politicians (and others who have an axe to grind) and that most un justly denominated class, Labour, with a capital L.
I have not yet seen anyone declare In print what would happen to the Middle Classes (and incidentally to English commerce) if we all worked eight hours a day. Many of us work ten hours per diem, year in and year out, with overtime, as a gentle addition. We have even been known to work on Sundays. Isn't it time.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an incisive series of critical essays that probe the social, economic, and political problems that have beset Britain since the end of the First World War. The author, himself a participant in the war, offers a candid and sometimes acerbic insight into the myriad challenges facing his nation during a period of unprecedented change. The ideas presented here are powerful, their implications still relevant today, particularly the subtle and insidious ways in which a nation can lose its way when it becomes detached from its own identity and virtues. Ranging from reflections on the League of Nations to how to address labor unrest, these essays illuminate the path Britain has taken as a nation and provide a poignant perspective on the continuing social and economic struggles of the post-war world.
