Excerpt from The Return of the Middle Class
In their widely heralded debate during the epidemic of strikes that followed the war, Governor Allen of Kansas asked Samuel Gompers a direct and simple question - a question which had been uppermost in the minds of many, and which was, indeed, the subject of debate. When a conflict between labor and capital halts the production or distribution of the necessaries of life, thus threatening the public peace or impairing the public health, "has the public any rights in such a controversy - or is it a private war between capital and labor?" Mr. Gompers hesitated and evaded, but from various parts of the hall the challenge rang out that he answer. At last he said: "An innocent child can ask more questions than his father - With that his burly partisans broke into a roar of approving laughter. For the moment the Old Fox of the Federation triumphed. He could not, however, maintain the air of his triumph. His remarks came haltingly - were at best disjointed, at worst keen personal digs and broad insinuations. Eventually, in a surprising burst of frankness, he spoke apologetically of the fact that his argument had become "desultory."

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book scrutinizes the emerging middle class and its growing class consciousness, following a period of societal transition. The author argues that the middle class had been too focused on individual advancement and had neglected to develop a collective identity and sense of purpose. This oversight allowed labor and capital to dominate the economic and political landscape, leaving the middle class forgotten and economically disadvantaged. The book explores how this neglect created a moral wrong that has resulted in the extinction of the best minds and traditions in American life. The author concludes that the middle class must awaken to its own power and assert its rights, preserving its sense of national order and efficiency, social solidarity, and service.
