Excerpt from Social Insurance: A Program of Social Reform Program
As a picture of the future, this millennium com pares favorably with other forecasts. The fault that I have to find with it is not that it presents an impossible ideal, but that it ignores certain tendencies Which, unless corrected, render its reali zation impossible. The tendencies I refer to may be summed up in two statements. First, there is little or no evidence that wage earners are be coming more provident in their habits. Second, their failure to make provision for the future is a cause serving constantly to recruit the mass of unorganized, unskilled workers whose lack of standards and unregulated competition oppose the progress of wage earners all along the line.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the consequences of industrialization in the United States and argues that we must shift from individualist solutions to government action to solve the problems it has created. The first of these problems is accidents, and the author provides statistics that show that the United States has a far higher rate of industrial accidents than other developed nations. The second problem is illness, with the author asserting that millions of people suffer illnesses that are either caused or exacerbated by the conditions of their work and the unsanitary conditions they live in. The author provides statistics proving that this illness creates a huge economic burden on the country as a whole. The third is premature death, and the author uses data to show that preventable deaths cut the average American's life short by almost eight years. The author proposes a number of measures to address these issues, including requiring businesses to report accidents and illnesses, creating and implementing safety and sanitary regulations, and providing compensation to workers injured on the job. The author argues that although these measures represent a shift away from the individualism that has long been a part of American culture, they are necessary to solve the problems created by the country's industrial revolution.
