Excerpt from The Gathering Storm: Being Studies in Social and Economic Tendencies
Ere we discuss future tendencies of civilisation or schemes of Social Regeneration it were well to begin from a secure starting-point by forming a just conception of the system of Society under which we at present live, and of the various processes by which this system of Society has come into being.
Webster defines "Society" as "a number of persons associated for any temporary or permanent object; an association for mutual or joint usefulness, pleasure, or profit." and the earliest grouping of Man into such associations for mutual or joint usefulness, pleasure, or profit," must in all probability have been anterior to the full development of the human faculties.
