ON THE PURPOSE OF THIS VOLUME\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf some magical transformation could be produced in men's ways of\u003cbr\u003elooking at themselves and their fellows, no inconsiderable part of the\u003cbr\u003eevils which now afflict society would vanish away or remedy themselves\u003cbr\u003eautomatically. If the majority of influential persons held the opinions\u003cbr\u003eand occupied the point of view that a few rather uninfluential people\u003cbr\u003enow do, there would, for instance, be no likelihood of another great\u003cbr\u003ewar; the whole problem of \"labor and capital\" would be transformed and\u003cbr\u003eattenuated; national arrogance, race animosity, political corruption,\u003cbr\u003eand inefficiency would all be reduced below the danger point. As an old\u003cbr\u003eStoic proverb has it, men are tormented by the opinions they have of\u003cbr\u003ethings, rather than by the things themselves. This is eminently true of\u003cbr\u003emany of our worst problems to-day. We have available knowledge and\u003cbr\u003eingenuity and material resources to make a far fairer world than that\u003cbr\u003ein which we find ourselves, but various obstacles prevent our\u003cbr\u003eintelligently availing ourselves of them. The object of this book is to\u003cbr\u003esubstantiate this proposition, to exhibit with entire frankness the\u003cbr\u003etremendous difficulties that stand in the way of such a beneficent change\u003cbr\u003eof mind, and to point out as clearly as may be some of the measures to be\u003cbr\u003etaken in order to overcome them.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47145640427760,"sku":"2940013428478","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013428478_p0.jpg?v=1763581369","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013428478","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
