Publisher's Synopsis
""Our Benevolent Feudalism"" is a book written by William James Ghent in 1902. The book explores the concept of feudalism, a social system that was prevalent in Europe during the Middle Ages, and argues that it could be adapted to modern society. Ghent suggests that a benevolent form of feudalism, where the wealthy and powerful take care of the less fortunate, could be a solution to the social and economic problems of the time. He argues that this system would be more effective than the capitalist system, which he believes is inherently flawed. Ghent also explores the role of government in this system and suggests that it should be limited, with more power given to the wealthy and powerful. The book is a thought-provoking exploration of an alternative social and economic system and offers a unique perspective on the issues of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
