ABSTRACT
Seeing cracks in the English form of capitalism, Carey, an American economist, asserts in this tome that ‘Nothing comparable’ to the English economy’s ‘capacity for evil had ever been devised’ before. By monopoly of machinery, which drives those hands into the street; by woman-labor, which drives the man from the shuttle; by child-labor, which drives the woman from the loom. ‘Some economists,’ said a distinguished French economist, shocked at the material character of the so-called science, ‘speak as if they believed that men were made for products, not products for men;’ and at that conclusion must all arrive who commence by the method of analysis, and close with exclusion of all the higher and distinctive of man.
