About This Book

A series of essays links the rise of commercial capitalism to political corruption and social distortions, arguing that concentrated wealth and market incentives warped civic motives and local institutions. The author examines how those economic forces influence law and public life, then turns to intellectual development, advocating educational aims informed by Froebelian ideas to counteract commercial narrowness. He reassesses democratic institutions as corrective influences and concludes by bringing these analyses together into practical suggestions for moral and institutional reform rather than new theoretical systems.
