ABSTRACT
This chapter talks of The Great Revolution. It says that it is certain that no social state in the history of the world ever present greater abominations, and it is doubtful if such a magnitude of evil was ever previously approached. For the benefit of the student of to-day, to whom the terms Profit, Competition, and Currency are mere names, and not very intelligible ones,is illustrated as briefly as possible the working of these three factors of the social organism at the close of the nineteenth century. This chapter says that it was the transfer of the national soil from the community to a handful of private owners. It says that the world of politics was dominated by the single idea of plunder. It says that the only thing which had nothing to do with the political struggle was, as has been described the party programme of the day.
