GLASIER, JOHN BRUCE. Meaning of socialism. *$2 (4c) Seltzer 335
21–880
The book is one of the “New library of social science” series, edited by J. Ramsay Macdonald. It has an introduction by J. A Hobson, who says of socialism that its most profitable labor is in the field of “humanism”—meaning that economics, politics, art and morals are but necessary factors in the realization of higher human relationships—and that the author of the book has more successfully than any other writer of our time the humanist interpretation and outlook. The four parts of the book are: After long ages; The epoch of freedom; Socialism in existing society; Beyond all frontiers.
