Excerpt from The Edinburgh Review or Critical Journal, Vol. 221: January, 1915 April, 1915The great war of 1914 forms an exception to the rule. As regards the participation of Great Britain, the occasion was hardly less significant than the deep, long-operating, and fundamental cause. The latter must, of course, be traced to the fixed determination of Kaiserism to challenge the world empire of Great Britain. That subject has, however, been end...

Excerpt from Economic Liberty This book consists of a series of essays. They are grouped together under one title because they are all inspired with one purpose - the desire to defend economic liberty against the attacks made upon it by men and women who think that they can secure progress by various schemes for curtailing freedom. In reality the path these professed reformers are treading leads downwards, not upwards. Without liberty there c...

Excerpt from British Industries Under Free Trade: Essays by Experts The object of the present volume is to supply a detailed answer to the question whether British industries have or have not flourished under Free Trade. The volume is necessarily limited in size, and the time allowed for its preparation was not long. It has therefore been impossible to deal with all the industries that might well have been here represented. But the ground cov...

Excerpt from The Edinburgh Review or Critical Journal, Vol. 222: July, 1915 October, 1915 The Problem of the Unemployed. By J. A. Hobson. Methuen. 1896. T first sight there does not seem to be any doubt about it. With eight to ten millions of capital spent every day by the belligerent Powers, to say nothing of the purely wasteful outlay to which many neutrals are forced by the war, it seems to be as Obvious a platitude as ever has been put f...

Excerpt from The Edinburgh Review or Critical Journal, Vol. 228 Those lessons may be grouped under the following headings (1) responsibility for war, (2) conduct of war, (3) aims of war, (4) views on peace and the future. It is desirable for us to understand the German mind on these questions, and every source of serious information should be utilized to that end. The writers under discussion have, of course, other ends in View and do not set...

Excerpt from The Edinburgh Review or Critical Journal, Vol. 225: January, 1917 April, 1917 The death of Francis Joseph enables us to regard Austria - that is to say, the Hapsburg Monarchy - without prejudice. Not even the sentimentalists who felt, or affected, special tenderness for the 'poor old Emperor' can now extend their favour to his great-nephew. The Emperor Charles, in his thirtieth year, is too old to make any appeal to sentiment on ...

Excerpt from The Edinburgh Review, Vol. 231: Or Critical Journal, January, 1920 April, 1920, to Be Continued Quarterly Nothing is more plainly written on the page of history than the slightness of the connexion between the ideals of social reformers and the social changes which they succeed in effecting. It would, perhaps, be true to say that the loftier the ideal, the more pathetically inadequate the achievement. Nor is the reason obscure. ...

Excerpt from The Edinburgh Review, Vol. 216: Or Critical Journal, July, 1912 October, 1912, To Be Continued Quarterly As for the masses, though in many cases their existence depends either on the products or the markets of India, their education has been so arid and unstimulating that they can hardly be blamed if they concentrate their thoughts on sport or on wages, and ignore the great continent which supplies the raw materials and consumes ...

Excerpt from Land Nationalization The present volume does not profess to be complete. The writer started with a bias in favour of land nationalization, but at the outset of his work was obliged to recognize that no well-thought-out scheme had yet been presented to the public, and that many professed land nationalizers grounded their faith on arguments historically or economically unsound. It seemed then to him that the most important thing to...

Excerpt from The Edinburgh Review or Critical Journal, Vol. 223: January, 1916 April, 1916, to Be Continued QuarterlyWe do well, therefore, to protest against this talk of a New France, risen, like a phoenix out of the funeral pyre of the old, for the instant purpose of combating the arrogance of Prussia. The France of to-day is splendid, but her effort is not miraculous it has long been prepared for by the elements of her ancient and continuo...

Excerpt from The Edinburgh Review or Critical Journal, Vol. 234: July, 1921 October, 1921, to Be Continued Quarterly During the spring and the summer of 1918, while Bertha was reminding the Parisians that the war was far from being at an end, a French committee, composed of statesmen and representatives of several State departments, met at the Ministere des Colonies in order to study the Colonial conditions of the peace. This 'Commission d'ét...

Excerpt from The Edinburgh Review, Vol. 220: Or Critical Journal, July, 1914 October, 1914, To Be Continued Quarterly Few Englishmen take a sustained and continuous interest in foreign policy. Fewer still make any serious study of the subject. When a war breaks out or a crisis threatens, people who like to be regarded as well informed make a scrambling effort to 'get up' the points at issue, and amid a shoal of minnows they promptly pose as a...

Excerpt from The Edinburgh Review or Critical Journal, Vol. 233: January, 1921 April, 1921 In the ninth century B.C., at the advanced age of ninety, the Chinese philosopher Lao Tse summed up in these three lines the wisdom necessary to the conduct of great affairs: - 'To govern a Kingdom, use righteousness. 'To conduct a war, use strategy. 'To be a true world-ruler, be occupied with inner life.' And again the sage expands his condensed prec...

This was to vindicate the principles of peace and justice in the life of the world as against selfish and autocratic power, and to set up among the really free and self...
