ABSTRACT

Socialism came in its varied guises to offer proof that the State did not secure either the freedom or the happiness of its members. It has become finally clear that the release of individuality-after all, the ultimate purpose of the State-is utterly impossible so long as the control of industry is confided to a small number of men whose decisions need not take account of the wills of those who work under them. It will seek to discover the largest way commensurate with national efficiency of associating the creative energies of men with the actual business of government. The society towards which we are moving will be organized upon the basis of functions, and the rights it will confer will be dependent upon the functions we perform. This chapter argues that control must not lie in any vocation, or area, or rank, but in the citizen-body as a whole.
