Summary
This book purports to do more than turn eighty million workers into capitalists on borrowed money; it aims at nothing less than the creation of a society free from poverty, war, and toil, and the authors argue that these goals can be achieved through such policies as the extension of property- holding and the reduction of taxes and government spending. The authors have done a commendable job of spelling out the practical reforms which will bring about the good society; one wishes that they had lavished as much care in delineating the broader social and philosophic aspects of their argument.
