That singular\u003cbr\u003efact is that nothing is done in this country as it was done twenty years\u003cbr\u003eago.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe are in the presence of a new organization of society. Our life has\u003cbr\u003ebroken away from the past. The life of America is not the life that it was\u003cbr\u003etwenty years ago; it is not the life that it was ten years ago. We have\u003cbr\u003echanged our economic conditions, absolutely, from top to bottom; and, with\u003cbr\u003eour economic society, the organization of our life. The old political\u003cbr\u003eformulas do not fit the present problems; they read now like documents\u003cbr\u003etaken out of a forgotten age. The older cries sound as if they belonged to\u003cbr\u003ea past age which men have almost forgotten. Things which used to be put\u003cbr\u003einto the party platforms of ten years ago would sound antiquated if put\u003cbr\u003einto a platform now. We are facing the necessity of fitting a new social\u003cbr\u003eorganization, as we did once fit the old organization, to the happiness\u003cbr\u003eand prosperity of the great body of citizens; for we are conscious that\u003cbr\u003ethe new order of society has not been made to fit and provide the\u003cbr\u003econvenience or prosperity of the average man. The life of the nation has\u003cbr\u003egrown infinitely varied. It does not centre now upon questions of\u003cbr\u003egovernmental structure or of the distribution of governmental powers. It\u003cbr\u003ecentres upon questions of the very structure and operation of society\u003cbr\u003eitself, of which government is only the instrument. Our development has\u003cbr\u003erun so fast and so far along the lines sketched in the earlier day of\u003cbr\u003econstitutional definition, has so crossed and interlaced those lines, has\u003cbr\u003epiled upon them such novel structures of trust and combination, has\u003cbr\u003eelaborated within them a life so manifold, so full of forces which\u003cbr\u003etranscend the boundaries of the country itself and fill the eyes of the\u003cbr\u003eworld, that a new nation seems to have been created which the old formulas\u003cbr\u003edo not fit or afford a vital interpretation of.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47145670902000,"sku":"2940013427747","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013427747_p0.jpg?v=1763581133","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013427747","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
