ANCIENT YET MODERN

Everywhere now in the civilized world, men want a wise allotment of work to individuals as well as groups in accordance with the demands of common interest in place of
personal choice or caprice. They feel they have had enough of Iaissez-faire and of the ‘divine’ right of making unlimited private profit. If it is essential that individual efforts
should be regulated and controlled in the interest of society, this vital duty cannot be left entirely to the spy and the policeman, employed to keep watch over citizens.

We must build up a social conscience and a cultural incentive to co operate from within and create a spiritual yearning which makes a joy of restraint and strenuous discharge of duty. The terrors and risks and the very guilt and savagery of a violent revolution might by a natural reaction bring into being a fanaticism that serves to back a new economic order that was brought into existence at supreme cost and sacrifice. This fanaticism may function as a kind of spiritual incentive. But the same cannot happen when the revolution is attained by a mere Act of Parliament.
