The article presents information on the book "Prospects of Industrial Civilization," by Bertrand Russell and Dora Russell. This book consists of two parts, the first an analysis of the world's present troubles and the second an attempt to define and discover the approaches to a better social order. The authors believe that the two chief disintegrating influences in the modern world are the conflicts leading to international war inherent in nationalism and the conflicts between exploiter and exploited inherent in industrialism. Both must be allayed not merely to produce a decent world, but to avoid universal catastrophe.
