ABSTRACT

Morality, law and politics will remain the connective institutions of society, but, instead of being placed at the service of the economic interests of one particular class, they will benefit humanity as a whole and aid in developing its higher destinies. Thus all the non-economic factors running through the social system would seem to be ultimately derived from underlying economic conditions which alone furnish an adequate explanation of their complicated mechanism. Everyone will then understand that morality, law and politics are the effects and not the causes of economic conditions. Thus, in the natural order of things, a systematic falsification of economic relations has resulted in the impotence of the science of sociology. During the last days of capital sociology will then form the moral science par excellence, even as law represented the culminating point reached by social science during the period of property’s infancy.
