Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Idealism and the Modern Age
The essay began to take definite shape before August, 1914. During recent months the conviction has increasingly been borne in upon the author's mind that it is this same idea on its practical side, in industry and in politics, which lies behind the Great War, now provisionally ended. It is this same idea which also lies behind innumerable sinister forces which are bending every effort to insure that the world shall return as speedily as possible to the status quo ante. Examining the bonds of sympathy and interest which unite the reactionary forces, we find them centered in the arbitrary 'will to power.' Thus wrote Mr. John A. Hobson but a few months ago.
