Hardcover. Condición: Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Good. States "second printing 1972." A heavy octavo of almost 3 lbs., with a "Withdrawn" stamp to FFE, a faint "Beaverton City Library" stamp to top page edges, and a manila card holder of the Beaverton (Oregon) City Library glued to rear Free Endpaper. Price-clipped green dust jacket also bears a scannable bar-code label to front panel, and an inch-square white label to foot of jacket spine. Internal hinges were long ago supported with white library tape, and jacket shows chipping at head of spine -- call this volume "good in good ex-library." The author was a Professor of Philosophy, Harvard University, and while not a declared socialist, was in fact a leveler, contending it's "unjust" for members of the working class to fare worse overall than those born into the "entrepreneurial" class, since it's the duty and proper role of society to distribute wealth and goods more or less equally. So, we're supposed to believe it was only because they were born into wealthy and privileged "entrepreneurial" families that wealth and influence (unjustly) crowned the labors of bobbin boy-turned telegraph messenger Andrew Carnegie; John D. Rockefeller (son of a con man who abandoned his family, a boy who started his business career at 16 as a bookkeeper's assistant at 50 cents a day); seventh-grade dropout turned gas station operator Harland Sanders; impoverished orphan Andrew Jackson; truck driver Elvis Presley, and apprentice meat cutter John Jacob Astor? One of the main reasons such success stories have become less common in America is the tax and regulatory burden imposed on savings and investment by the redistributionist, confiscatory schemes of "economic justice" promoted by the levelers allowed to shelter from the real economic consequences of such tyranny over the aspirations of the human soul at places like (vastly endowed) Harvard University. 607 pp. including Index.)
