Socialism and the Average Man e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Nor, it seems to me, is this attitude on the part of the non-socialist wholly without justification. The Aver age Man is far more concerned with the ultimate form of the social order under which he or his children may have to live, than with any particular means advocated for the realization of that ultimate form, though the means also, especially if they be violent, may be of importance to him. However this may be, it is certainly true that only when he thus approaches the subject in the large, can the Average Man, who has neither the time nor the inclination to undertake a detailed study of the pro grams of the many conflicting factions within the movement, hope to arrive at a reasoned' conclusion with regard to its expediency or its practicability. For this reason, therefore, in endeavoring to present the subject to the Average Man, I have dealt with Social ism in the large.
