Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Short Studies in Economic Subjects
If this is how matters have gone in the past what hope have we in the future? Large numbers of the wage-earning classes seem to be in favour of sending to the House of Commons special representatives pledged to consider and favour the interests of their own class, apart from those of the community generally. Suppose - what at the present 'moment seems unlikely, but in the future might be possible - that working men, who are a 'majority of the voters, were persuaded by their leaders to send to Parliament a majority of mem bers thus to represent only their own class. We might, and in all probability should, find ourselves again involved in all the old evils of class legislation - evils many of which still exist - instead of pursuing the true ideal of legislation, so as to procure the largest possible freedom for each member of the community.
