Excerpt from Course in Banking: Lesson XVII, Economics
The indictment is a serious one. A social order against which such charges can be laid with any color of reason can not be considered perfect by even the most easy-going of opti mists. The socialist who focuses attention on the weak spots in the industrial structure performs a valuable service. Less ened though the service may be by the wholesale and indis criminating character of the denunciation. Candid recognition of the full extent of existing evils is the indispensable first step in progress and reform. Yet the indictment recorded fails to carry conviction to the impartial observer. It is beyond doubt onesided and exaggerated. The truth it contains nullified by the truth it neglects. He has grudged full recognition of the immensely strong points of our industrial system. He directs his shafts against a mythical extreme individualism. Ignoring the restraining social forces implicit in the existing order. Forces fully as characteristic as the scope and play which in the main are permitted to individual ambition and individual initiative. He has thrown the undivided blame for all the world's misery and failure-on social institutions. On the tools men use. Rather than on the limitations of the purely human men who use them.
