Excerpt from Robinson Crusoe, Social Engineer: How the Discovery of Robinson Crusoe Solves, the Labor Problem and Opens the Path, to Industrial Peace
In remote recesses of lonely mountain sides travelers frequently have found the skeleton remains of two animals lying side by side, as if they had perished together by mutual consent. It is a curious phenomenon.
It means that two buck deer had engaged in mortal combat and locked horns in a war of extermination, from which the only escape was by slow starvation. It was a peace without victory for either. It was the peace of death. Neither could entangle the other without entangling himself. You cannot hold another man down in the gutter without remaining down in the gutter with him.
The tragedy of the horn-locked deer aptly exhibits the condition of capitalists and laborers during the past one hundred and fifty years. They, too, as in the case of the deer, have like interests. These like interests are common interests. Industrial conflicts are, therefore, civil wars. Mutual hatred, as with the deer, has blinded them to this fact and produced tragic results.
The aim of this book is to state, in popular and picturesque fashion, what the discovery of a community of interest would mean to modern industry.
