To Spencer Heath MacCallum

 

 But for whose creative intelligence

 and artistic sensibilities this book might

 have remained long hidden from the public eye

 

And I, Spencer MacCallum, wish to acknowledge

Francisco Litvay,

who made this revised, second edition possible

and actually brought it to the public eye.

Eliminate the Foreword by John Chamberlain

 

 

Second page of “Prefatory Brief,” ten lines down:

      “foot, pound”  =>  “pound, foot”

 

>>On CONTENTS page, start by listing only “Prefatory Brief” and “Acknowledgments.” Then make “General Premises” chapter 1 under Method and adjust numbering of the following chapters accordingly.

 

 

At end of Chapter 1 (“General Premises,”) eliminate initials “S.H.”

 

 

Insert opposite Table of Contents:

 

    To the Reader

     Citadel, Market, Altar: These are the symbols for the three great and fundamental institutions of society, the separate functions of which are coercion, cooperation, and consecration – a department of physical force or restraint, a department of services measured and exchanged, and a department of the free and spontaneous life of the individuals. The Citadel repels assault from without, subversion from within; the Market is an outgrowth of the Citadel; the Altar arises from the interaction of Citadel and Market. Society cannot exist without these three.

     Similarly, a description of Society as a whole cannot be complete until it has taken into account three things, a natural science to describe its fundamental organization and relate it to the cosmos in which we live, a rational technology resulting from the knowledge thus gained, and finally the spiritual life of man, which inspires further discovery, and directs the applications of rational knowledge in ways that fulfill human aspirations.

     Hence this book is organized in three principal divisions or parts, interrelated towards a transcendent total significance; yet each is understandable in itself, without any necessary reference to the general scheme. Any one of its three main divisions may be read as interest may lead, not necessarily in the genetic order in which they are arranged.

 

 

Toward the end of “Prefatory Brief,” 13 lines down on page xiv:

“as distinguished from”  =>  “distinguished alike from”

 

 

Also toward the end of “Prefatory Brief,” recast footnote 3 as follows:

     3. The energy of pre-adult life-years is not available for

societal functioning. It is consumed in biological maintenance – the necessary replacement of predecessors – hence it cannot function contractually and productively, only reproductively. It is not unique to mankind. What is peculiar to and unique in men is the capacity to organize their adult life-years into a societal life-form having the creative power to build ever increasing order and beauty in their world and thereby to achieve ever lengthening days – their capacity for spiritual power.

 

 

At the end of “Prefatory Brief,” six lines down on page xiv:

“a psychological”  =>  “a spontaneous psychological”

239/ Before “Contract” (now numbered 38), insert text of the definitions of the two new terms as follows, and adjust the numbering of all succeeding definitions accordingly.

 

36. MORALITY

  Moral means primarily that to which a people are accustomed. More particularly, it means those sentiments and consequent actions that have been found favorable to the continued existence of a population. More restrictedly, it means that behavior which by custom or by authority is imposed upon members of a population without regard to their will or consent.

 

37. FREEDOM

  Freedom may be defined as a condition which is favorable to the exercise of the will. Freedom as an actuality is the exercise of options. When the options or opportunities of choice are many and varied, the field for the exercise of freedom is rich. Where there are few things one would choose but must nevertheless be accepted or submitted to, the field of freedom is restricted and poor. Freedom may be regarded on the one side as opportunity to prefer one or another of many desirable opportunities. On the other hand, it may be regarded as the exercise of such options, which is the practice of freedom.

 

243/ Enter the third new term, “Spiritual,” and its text as follows:

57. SPIRITUAL: (Literally that which is breathed in,

in-spirational). That whence comes or which awakens life. Those relationships, tendencies and modes of behavior among men that favor, foster and advance the quality and therewith the enlargement (abundance) of their lives. The creative and progressively dominant element in nature and in human nature – the divine.

 

243/  In the INDEX OF PRINCIPAL TERMS, enter the above three new terms in their alphabetic places and correct all page numbers in the INDEX as may be needed.

 

253/ Before “—-Question, The, 122” insert “-—Property, defined,      50, 73, 234.

 

259/ 12 lines up   Above “Wealth..” insert “Waves, Population                     as Energy Waves, 30.”
