Our Social Heritage 



BY PROFESSOR GRAHAM WALLAS 



Demy 8vo. I2s. 6J. net. 



The "Social Heritage" discussed in this book is the whole body of 

 knowledge and habit which is handed down from one human genera- 

 tion to another by teaching and learning. Men have been for so many 

 generations dependent for their existence on this heritage that they 

 have become biologically unfitted to live without it, and its conscious 

 criticism and revision has become the main problem of human 

 organization. 



The chapters deal first with the socially inherited expedients used in 

 individual work and thought, and then with the expedients used in 

 group, national and . international co-operation, with special reference 

 to the educational problems involved and to the present conflict between 

 democracy and vocationalism. The book ends with a discussion of the 

 efficiency as means of human co-operation of the conceptions of Liberty 

 and Science, and of the institutions of " Constitutional Monarchy " and 

 the Church. The method used throughout is the same kind of psycho- 

 logical analysis as that used in the Author's " Human Nature in Politics" 

 (1908) and "The Great Society" (1914). 



Problems of a New World 



Cr. 8*0. BY J. A. HOBSON 7/ . 6J. net. 



Events of the last few years have shaken our political and economic 

 systems to their foundations. The old guarantees of order and progress 

 no longer suffice. The problems of 1920 are not those of 1914. Human 

 Nature itself, as an operative force, has changed. 



These chapters discuss the revelations and describe the new ideals 

 that are struggling to get themselves realized in the new Industry, the 

 new State, and the new World-Order. 



Principles of Revolution 



Cr. %vo. BY C. DELISLE BURNS 5/. net. 



This is a statement of the general principles underlying modern pro- 

 grammes for a radical transformation of society. Revolution is taken to 

 mean the method by which such a transformation may be secured ; and 

 it is therefore opposed to chaos or violence and contrasted with piecemeal 

 reforms. The description of the ideal is given as the interpretation of 

 certain contemporary movements and not as propaganda for any political 

 party. This book, therefore, aims not at an advocacy of revolution but at 

 an explanation of the grounds which lead men to desire it.
