Progress and the Fiscal Problem (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from Progress and the Fiscal Problem

As a means of education in the widest sense the fiscal problem may certainly be expected to do lasting good. We have all been incited to study the elements of national well-being in a way we never did before. The business of the country in its various departments - coal mining, iron, cotton, woollens, and shipping - has been brought home to us with a Vividness and in a detail which to most of us have been as informing as they have been surprising. We have learned, too, to take a wider and more familiar interest in the questions of Empire and of the future of the English-speaking race, which we hope will bear good fruit. If we come to realize how necessary education in the ordinary sense is now for the healthy progress of industry, the agitation caused by Mr. Chamberlain will not have been in vain.

Excerpt from Progress and the Fiscal Problem

The writer of another book on the Fiscal Problem may well be asked why he should add to a pile which is already overgrown. To such an inquiry one might reasonably reply that most of the books already published on the subject bear obvious marks of haste and of bias; but I would rather give as my main reason for offering such a book to the public my belief that some important points have hitherto been overlooked, and many have not received due attention. These I have tried to bring out, while I have laid special stress on wider aspects of progress which seem to me vitally, if not inseparably, connected with the Fiscal Problem. As the title of my book indicates, it is concerned not only with the Fiscal Problem, but with allied questions of progress.
