Excerpt from The Profits of Religion: An Essay in Economic Interpretation

I step up, and in timid tones begin, Reverend sir, will you tell me by what right you take this wealth?

Instantly a frown comes upon his face, and he cries in a voice of thunder, Blasphemer! And all the Boot strap-lifters desist from their lifting, and menace me with furious looks. There is a general call for a policeman of the Wholesale Pickpockets' Association; and so I fall silent, and slink away in the throng, and thereafter keep my thoughts to myself.

Excerpt from The Profits of Religion: An Essay in Economic Interpretation

This book is a study of Supernaturalism from a new point of view - as a Source of In come and a Shield to Privilege. I have searched the libraries through, and no one has done it before. If you read it, you will see that it needed to be done. It has meant twenty-five years of thought and a year of investigation. It contains the facts.

I publish the book myself, so that it may be available at the lowest possible price. I am giving my time and energy, in return for one thing which you may give me - the joy of speaking a true word and getting it heard.

The present volume is the first of a series, which will do for Education, Journalism and Literature what has here been done for the Church: the four volumes making a work of revolutionary criticism, an Economic Interpretation of Culture Under the general title of "The Dead Hand."
