Opis: Economics of Liberty (Classic Reprint) - Robinson John Beverley

Excerpt from Economics of Liberty

What is Society

Everybody nowadays is talking or writing about Society - society in the abstract - general human society. Social service, the social uplift - all the phrases, half discredited in advance by the fluency with which they drop from our lips - what do these really mean

Wise professors of sociology treat of "the housing of the poor," "the problem of the unemployed," devise futile formulas, and pile up mountains of barren statistics, while no one in recent times has uttered even an outline of a theory as to the essential constitution of that Society of which Sociology, by its very name, proclaims itself the science.

We habitually regard the headless, formless chaos of absurdities in human relations, in the midst of which we live, as Society, but we are without an intellectual norm to guide us: we have evolved as yet no concept with which to rationalize the observed facts.


Or, if such a norm has been proclaimed in the past, it has not been shouted in the ears of the people so that they must hear it. It has fallen out of sight and hearing, and must be reproclaimed in words intelligible and unmistakable, until it gains acceptance.
