Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Industrial Government
All of them, of course, had features in common, but these ruling ideas stood out rather clearly as we neared the end of our journey when we could look back and compare them one with another.
All of them were very alive and were making great changes in short periods, both in system and person ality. One was passing from autocracy into govern ment by employees; another from scientific manage ment into unionism; another from welfare into self government; another from political to industrial form of government.
One interesting fact was found: the sudden or grad ual moral conversion of an employer from business to humanity. Employees noted it, and could not at first believe it, or were still incredulous, and told us about it, and so did the employer himself. In some cases it was unionism or strikes that did it. In others it was business foresight of the labor problem. In others it was sermons by an industrial evangelist.
