In this collection of essays, with a new introduction by Howard Woodhouse, Russell scrutinizes many aspects of modern life--the latent anarchy of domestic life, the anti-social character of high finance and the folly of working too hard in the machine age. Among the political essays there are powerful demolitions of both Communism and Fascism, and a convincing statement of the case for Socialism.
