Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Who Is the Criminal?: A Discussion of the Laws by Which Governments Help One Man to Legally Rob Another
If the writer of these pages did not believe in human nature, - if he believed that capitalists clutch laborers as tigers clutch lambs, instead of writing a book, he would spend his time hoping that no poor man would ever become a capitalist, or in praying for the end of the world.
His efforts to stand by his convictions, have led him through the fiercest theological and political contentions, but not without compensation. After meeting the mean est and the best of men, he believes, in their voluntary actions, men do ten good things to one bad one. For lack of knowledge the people die, and the noblest words ever uttered are, Father, forgive them, they know not what they do.
All noble men are intensely selfish, but they are also naturally just, and instinctively and intuitively love to do as they would be done by. In spite of all slander, men often share their last crust, and millions have laid down their lives for others.
