Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Competition, Natural and Industrial
From the foregoing it should be clear that, so far as' industrial competition. Is concerned, we can get little comfort out of the doctrine of the survival of the fittest, unless industrial conditions are wholly satisfac tory. The richest men, t e economically successful, are not necessarily the best men. As things now are, suc cess too often depends upon hard-heartedness, cruelty, ruthless aggression, animal cunning, unscrupulousness, and other intensely egoistic traits which are foreign to the nature of the highest type of man.
