Excerpt from The Privileged Classes
And somewhat develop the suggestions implied in them. Together the four make a consecutive book. Though for thorough treatment such matters as are thus brought to mind demand the full authority of expert training, they are perhaps of enough general interest to warrant occasional discus sion by one who can pretend to no more authoritative character than that of a man of letters.

Excerpt from The Privileged Classes
In 1904 I was invited to give the Commencement address at Haverford College. This address, subsequently published in the "North American Review," under the title of "Our National Superstition," was kindly received, though not without dissent. A similar reception, wherein more dissent was apparent, met an address on "The Privileged Classes" which I gave before the Twentieth Century Club, of Chicago, in January, 1908, and which appeared, a few days later, in the "Boston Transcript."

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers an articulate commentary on a widely held distaste for privilege. The author, a distinguished man of letters, examines the history of societies throughout ages and argues that we strive to live in a place where people reap what they sow. He presents the American Revolution as an attempt to eliminate arbitrary boundaries and introduce a system of government that works for all, regardless of rank or position. He further acknowledges that many revolutions that have taken place in the world since then have not always resulted in social and economic equality. The author instead suggests that in the course of history, revolutions often replaced old privileges with new ones. This book will appeal to readers interested in politics, history, and sociology, and it is sure to provoke thought about the nature of privilege and its impact on society.
