Foreword It is needless to say that this book does not contain all that might be written on the subject of money; many interesting and instructive phases of the subject have not been treated at all, for the reason that few people will read a bulky volume, and many cannot pay the cost of one. It is published with the sole purpose in view of stimulating thought and inquiry into the subject of which it treats and which has been nearly, if not entirely, neglected by the leaders of advanced thought. There is growing up in America a strong demand to substitute collective ownership and operation of certain industries in place of corporation ownership and operation. This is evidenced by the recent passage in various states of Public Utilities A cts which empower the cities and villages to purchase or construct water works, electric light and power plants, traction systems, pipe lines for the distribution of gas, oil, heat or cold; warehouses for storage purposes, wharfs, etc.
