Here is a book such as comes but once in an era to mark astounding advances in the mind and life of man.

 

 For it sets out in full particularity how all the social life and power of men rises out of the gain for all that springs from each serving others — and thereby loving others — in the free processes of voluntary contract and exchange.

 

 Reposing no faith in any self appointed or politically elected elite, it yet urges no direct opposition but pleads instead for development of the creative alternatives in the self-sustaining non-political system that are awaiting and right at hand.

 

 The author does not argue. His method is inductive and expositional, as in the natural sciences, based on examination of the positive processes whereby the present social organization is sustained and /on/ the plentiful though poorly recorded quickenings towards free community life in earlier times. He discusses marvelous, hitherto unsuspected potentialities in the non-political system of property and contract on which all ancient freedoms rest and all future growth depends.

 

 It is a book at once to challenge the mind of the scientific rationalist and delight the hearts of artists and idealists while it justifies and appeals to the legitimate ambitions of profit-motivated men.

 

 For it looks not to any studied specious philanthropy but to honest profit and savings — to the increase of productive property and its non-political administration as the source whence flows ___________ both the individual and the common good. And it sees the productive man, ________ in unforced freedom with his fellow man, become the creative man — member of a creative and thereby spiritual body of mankind to build, though but dimly dreaming of it, ever increasing order and beauty and length of days in an ever richer, a more heavenly world.
