FREEDOM VERSUS ORGANIZATION

by Bertrand Russell ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

One of the most important books of the Fall publishing season and a book that will make a permanent place for itself on the shelves of history, economics, social studies, for it touches upon all three. Russell, in seeking the roots of today's chaos, goes back to the Congress of Vienna, and carries through to the fatal year, 1914. He presents a Europe in which were laid the foundations of industrialism, social consciousness, imperialism, a new nationalism; he presents a United States where Democracy took form, where Capitalism laid its grasp upon the industrial world, where national unity was sustained by force. And from this he evolves the theory that something of individual freedom must be sacrificed to maintain material well-being for mankind. Stimulating -- exciting reading. Watch it.
