Questions for Discussion and Readings [Chapter specific], pp. 413-4455; Glossary, pp. 456-4467; Index, pp. 471-476. Red cloth with bright gilt-stamped title lettering and linear decorative elements on front cover, dulled gilt on spine, very slightly sunned, nearly same hue as covers; top corners very slightly bumped, top spine edge, slightly ruffled; two small nicks on rear cover left edge and none at top right edge front cover; previous owner signature at top ffep has been erased, with shadow of letter edges still apparent: describes much worse than it is, but there you have it. Strong binding, essentially sharp corners. Clean text. Wheelwright known as very lucid writer; his work here is illustrative of clear, rational thinking sorely absent in many present-day moral and political discussions: See Ch. 10: "The Problem of Social Justice"; Ch. 11: "Our Business Civilization", with sections on "Business Freedom vs. Citizen Freedom", "Business Policy vs. National Policy," "The Conservative Solution", "The Radical Solution", "The Citizen-Consumer Movement: A Middle Way"; Ch. 12: "The Basis of Political Authority".…

Shipping terms
All domestic orders will be sent by USPS Media Mail, unless some other mode of shipping is requested or required and accepted in advance of shipping. International orders will be sent by USPS International Flat-Rate Priority envelope or box, unless the current weight and size restrictions cannot be met [e.g.: (1) the item is too large to fit the International Flat-Rate envelope or box or (2) the item weighs over 4 lbs. or (3) insurance is requested or required (e.g., the book is worth $40.00 or more)--in each such case, the item will be sent, only if the given destination country allows for it, by signing for the item.] All books sent by USPS Flat-Rate unpadded envelope (or padded envelope, moreover) will be wrapped in paper and packed between cardboard sheets larger than the book or with cardboard affixed at the corners, in order to prevent damage to the book during shipment. Books sent in boxes will also be wrapped in paper and suitably packed to avoid movement in box. The goal here is to ship essentially at cost, rather than to reap additional profit beyond the cost of shipping, thus keeping the customer's cost for shipping as low as possible.
