Excerpt from Immediate Problems: An Address Delivered on December 12, 1922
It has been often said, and it is wholly true, that there have been changes more fundamental in the mode of living of the world in the last seventy-five years than in the preceding two thousand years.
From the time that the conception and the fact of space and distance came to be radically modified by the railroad, the telegraph and the steamship, and that the industrial processes and conditions became revolutionized by the advent of the machine, things have rushed upon humankind which have made life fuller and quicker and infinitely more complex.
To the vast and unprecedented change from age-long habits and practices thus brought about with almost unthinkable rapidity, the world has not yet adjusted itself fully. Least of all, in the system and methods of government.
In the midst of these vast changes, of immense material progress, of unparalleled advances in the field of science, the system and methods of government have undergone relatively very little modification from what they were in the pre-machine period.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, published in 1922 at a time of great upheaval, explores the radical changes in the way people lived. The author discusses political, social and economic issues of the day and examines how they had been shaped by advances in technology such as the automobile, the telegraph and the steamship. The author argues that despite the vast material progress of the time, governmental systems had yet to fully adjust to the new realities. He suggests that the pendulum had swung too far in favor of popular rule and argues for the need to create and encourage strong and decisive leaders. The book also examines the problems facing farmers amidst the economic changes of the time, as well as the relationship between labor and capital. Additionally, the author examines the challenges in taxation, the European political situation and how it impacted the United States, and considered how America should relate to Europe in its time of turmoil. This book is an exploration of the profound societal changes of the time and offers insights relevant to current debates about government effectiveness, economic fairness and global cooperation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
