A WHOLLY NEW DEPARTURE IN SOCIAL THINKING
The author of this book finds in the physical and
biological sciences a single simple basic law:
Every organization, be it great or small, physical or biological, owes its growth and strength and its length of days to the spontaneous reciprocal relationships among the similarly constituted units of which it is composed.
In the light of these sciences, and upon heretofore
neglected social data, the author sees a like basic order
in the balanced non-political interacting of community-
living men — a form of reciprocal energy exchange — in
which values are created, whereby the life of the society is maintained and its transcendent functions are performed.
CITADEL, MARKET and ALTAR is indeed a benignly revolutionary book — a wholly new departure in social thinking — that brings into light a new, creative and wholly
self-sustaining mode of public administration.
The thought is simple yet synthetic. It discovers hidden social resources; and it weaves the cosmic order of the physicist and the biologist, the order of freedom established by western men, and the Christian Golden Ethic for a more abundant life, into a “seamless web” of reassurance for the future of mankind.
For it not only justifies but strongly appeals to the
wholesome ambitions of profit-motivated men; yet it is no
less a book to vitalize the vision of artists and idealists as well — a nobly conceived and splendidly presented
inspiring philosophy of creative capitalism.
Scholars, jurists, outstanding economists, eminent churchmen, and leaders in many lines, are reading and thinking and speaking exceptionally about this book.
When you have read it, so probably will you.
