Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book proposes a systematic reconstruction plan to address the catastrophic impact of World War I on European Civilization. The author sets out the foundational principles and practical policies of this plan. These include implementing a National Minimum wage, healthcare, education, and housing to ensure a baseline standard of living for the working class. It also advocates for democratizing industry by nationalizing essential services like utilities, transportation, and mining. Furthermore, the book outlines a revolutionary approach to national finance through progressive taxation and a capital levy to reduce the national debt and fund social programs. By challenging the traditional dominance of private capital, this book articulates a comprehensive vision for a more just and equitable society, where the surplus wealth is appropriated for the common good. Ultimately, this plan aims to build a society founded on democratic control, equality, and cooperation, rejecting both unbridled capitalism and oppressive imperialism.
