About the Author
Benjamin Kidd (September 9, 1858 - October 2, 1916) Benjamin Kidd was born in County Clare, Ireland. Benjamin entered the Inland Revenue Department of the Civil Service in 1877. He worked in obscurity there for seventeen years. However, his spare time was devoted to study and writing, in 1894. He became widely known after the publication of his essay, Social Evolution. This work was a worldwide success and was translated into German, Swedish, French, Russian, Italian, Chinese, Czech, Danish and Arabic. The success of his work allowed Benjamin to retire from the Civil Service and in 1898 he travelled extensively throughout America and Canada. These travels resulted in a series of articles commissioned by The Times. He later went on to write many works some of which are considered to be some of the most groundbreaking work ever to be created.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the dramatic shift in Western civilization that occurred in the late 19th century. The author posits that the publication of Darwin's *Origin of Species* in 1859 sparked a widespread embrace of the idea of force as the driving principle behind progress. This resulted in a "pagan retrogresssion", where the principles of war and the pursuit of individual power overrode traditional ideals of peace and social cohesion. The book examines the impact of this shift on various areas of Western society, from international relations and the military to social and economic structures. The author argues that the rise of the proletariat, coupled with the concentration of wealth in the hands of the few, created a new form of class war based on the principles of force and power. The author's insights offer a compelling perspective on the underlying forces that shaped the West's trajectory in the early 20th century, providing a valuable lens through which to understand the complexities of power, conflict, and social change. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
