About this title

Synopsis

A clear, urgent look at how economic reform can reshape society for the common good.

This edition of The New Social Order: Principles and Programs examines how a national minimum and planned employment could protect initiative, reduce poverty, and expand equal opportunity. It argues that organizing industry as a shared responsibility can support every worker and strengthen democracy.

The text surveys late-19th and early-20th century ideas about labor, unemployment, and social insurance, then presents concrete measures a government might take to prevent insecurity. It links economic reform with moral purpose, urging a shift from private gain to social welfare and emphasizing the need for worldwide solidarity.

• Understanding how a universal minimum wage and security of employment could stabilize living standards.
• Learning why public works, shorter hours, and education access are proposed to maintain employment and opportunity.
• Seeing the case for organizing industry as a common undertaking to support growth and creativity.
• Exploring the idea that economic reform should align with universal human rights and shared responsibility.

Ideal for readers of social history, labor movements, and policy theory who want a thoughtful argument for economic arrangements that serve broader human needs.
