A humanitarian plea, unequalled in lucidity and incontrovertible in its logic.
Our Irrational Distribution of Wealth
By Byron C. Mathews
Cloth $1.00 net.
The author undertakes to show that the agencies which are used in distributing the products of industry and are responsible for the extremes in the social scale have never been adopted by any rational action, but have come to be through fortuitous circumstances and are without moral basis. The wage system, as a means of distribution, is utterly inadequate to measure the workers’ share. The source of permanent improvement is found in social ownership, which transfers the power over distribution from the hands of those individuals who now own the instruments of production to the hands of the people.
