Reseña del editor

The practical object of this Essay is twofold :first, to state impartially the points at issue between Socialism arid I ndividualism, and to mediate between their claims as rival schemes for the regeneration of society; and, secondly, to offer a contribution towards the solution of some of the problems to which both systems address themselves. A preliminary investigation is, however, necessary; since it is futile either to estimate the value of current opinions or to devise remedies for social evils, apart from the fundamental principles underlying all political phenomena alike. The volume has thus assumed the character of an introduction to the Theory of the State with special reference to one of its divisions the methods and limits of government interference. In spite of a steadily increasing interest in social and political questions there is, perhaps, no topic upon which popular thought remains so lax and uninformed, no inquiry which has received so few attempts at systematic and unbiassed treatment as the legitimate province of law and government. The copious literature on the subject is polemical rather than constructive; negative rather than positive. I ts destructive and unsystematic nature, however, is not the only characteristic calling for supplement if not for correction. Most existing treatises either confine their investigations to the economic features of the inquiry, to the neglect of those broader aspects which confront statesmen and legislators; or else they are the work of ardent partisans Of one or other of the competing theories in its most uncompromising attitude.
