About This Book

Esseessä väitetään, että yhteinen omistus ja taloudellinen turva vapauttaisivat ihmiset pakosta työskennellä muiden hyväksi ja poistaisivat köyhyyden, mistä seuraisi yksilöllisen luovuuden ja itsekehityksen mahdollistuminen. Kirjoittaja kritisoi sääliä ja hyväntekeväisyyttä, koska ne vain pitävät yllä epäkohtia, mutta varoittaa myös sosialismia muuttumasta keskitetyn vallan tai teollisuustyrannian välineeksi. Teksti yhdistää yhteiskunnallisen järjestelmän muutoksen ja yksilön vapauden pohdinnan, korostaen taiteen sekä henkilökohtaisen riippumattomuuden merkitystä inhimillisen täydellisyyden edellytyksenä.
