Excerpt from The Unemployed: A National Question
Mr. Percy Alden, the author of this work, is well qualified, both by personal experience and long investigation of the problem, to give the history of the various inquiries that have been made, and of the practical steps taken by other Governments than our own.1 Some causes of unemployment can be ascertained, and preventive or palliative measures sug gested. These are fully described and dis cussed in this book. But one cause no wisdom can foresee. In our complicated industrial system, changes suddenly take place in the demand for labour against which no foresight of the wisest Government and Parliament can provide. For such a con tingency there is but one form of remedy some occupation with an unlimited demand for workers upon which everyone can in the last resort fall back. Such an occupation is the cultivation of the soil - the first and the last resource of the human race.
