ABSTRACT
The conflicts which seem most important as a concrete source of discontent and a threat to peace and order in modern society are those which centre in economic interests, and specifically in economic relationships regarded as unjust or ethically wrong. Discussion of the topic within the compass of a chapter in an essay of this sort can stress only a few of the most important general truths; and this will best be done by contrasting them with fallacious beliefs or presupposition which are currently accepted in popular discussion and by religious and other agitators for reform.
