Sinopsis

This book delves into the intricate relationship between ownership and societal ills, analyzing the ethical implications of property rights and the impact of changing economic conditions. The author explores the historical origins of current inequalities, examining the role of inheritance, speculation, and corporate power in the accumulation of wealth at the expense of others. The book also sheds light on the corrosive effects of excessive wealth on individuals and society, arguing that it breeds greed, complacency, and a disregard for the common good. Ultimately, the author suggests that true progress lies in rebalancing ownership and fostering an economic system that values human well-being over the accumulation of material possessions.

Excerpt from More: A Study of Financial Conditions Now Prevalent

As an introduction and explanation for those who lack acquaintance with the author or his writings, it may suffice to state that the views herein expressed were formulated during twenty years of industrial activity in connection with an equal number of productive organiziations, operating at various points between Eastern Canada and California. These have included the manufacture of several lines of machinery; several classes of textiles; articles of varied nature in finished product; also such industries as mining, quarrying and building. This present theorizing is therefore derived from practical experience in creation and investment. The knowledge thus obtained should have value - in view of its cost. Effective experience must include losses with the gains. The scarred scent danger sooner than the scatheless.

The majority of financial literature is written by men who have never made actual value in product, never handled material funds, never known the peril in large financial risks, the joy of substantial material success or the bitterness of severe financial loss.
