Description:Excerpt from More Japonico: A Critique of the Effect of an Idea Communityism on the Life and History of a PeoplePeople, but the interpretation perhaps is clearly enough marked in the following pages. There are many social questions troubling us to-day, East and West, and their history and their solution are much alike on both 'sides of the world. What we are struggling with is the question of the relation of men to each other; that is of men to the State. And this question hovers, and always has hovered, between two poles - public control and public ownership of what goes to make up the national stock. It was the case in the days of the children of Heth and of the children of Israel. It holds as good for the times of Julius Caesar as for the twentieth century. Such a thing as private control has never existed. The question simply is - shall men combine in the State to preserve such conditions under which all can equitably exert themselves to their full powers and enjoy the fruition thereof; or shall men unite to form an abstract entity known as the State, and abandoning all eflort to preserve equity among men, either enforce an equality which does not exist in nature or exact by force - as far as is possible-the full power of its units? If the experience of history is worth anything on this point it teaches that'the solution of the present ills that our civilization suffers under is not to be found in monopoly - of any kind. Whether it be Government monopoly, individual mono poly, or communistic monopoly they are all equally bad. This question of monopoly, this old inheritance of ours from the ancient past, is quite within the fundamental powers of any state' and always has been. The only basis of human society is equity; protection against each other. The State is really the police, and these questions are simply questions Of police.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
