ABSTRACT
This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in this book. The book sets forth not only the broad conclusions to which Lord Leverhulme has come about reform in the relations of capital to labour in great productive undertakings, but it describes the fashion in which he has actually sought to apply these conclusions in his own very large works. If the doctrine which underlies Lord Leverhulme's conclusions is right, the production of such a generation is of high importance for industry itself as well as for spiritual ends. Now the six-hour day is a means to the attainment of this object. But the conception of direction as the source of wealth has another application. Probably it is best that in the supreme command of every great industrial undertaking there should be a single great intelligence.
