add to cart   close window

This article focuses on the book "A Generation of Materialism, 1871-1900," by Carlton J.H. Hayes. As a history of Europe from 1871 to 1900, this book is stimulating and suggestive. Professor Hayes finds his way easily among the sources and piles fact upon fact to make a living picture. Two chapters alone are worth the price of admission. In these chapters, one feels that democracy is moving toward disaster. Revolutionary democratic nationalism is transformed into reactionary economic nationalism. Hayes conveys an overwhelming impression of the growing economic, political, and intellectual malaise that brought World War I and its aftermath of totalitarian statism.
