Overstreet, H. A. | January 31, 1920 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on the book "The Vested Interests and the State of the Industrial Arts," by Thorstein Veblen. Ethical individualists have a way of being impatient with schemes for social reorganization. It is much harder, it takes maturer thinking, to see the social conflict as a conflict of philosophies. Much harder, because people are compelled, then, to discard the satisfying belief in the evil of their opponents and to acknowledge them to be men and women merely misled by false ideas.
