Excerpt from The Modern British State, Vol. 1 of 2: An Introduction to the Study of Civics
This book is not propagandist either on behalf of what has been, or is, or might be. It aims at giving a description of the social organism which is known as the United Kingdom. It states how existing facts have come to be in order to make their relations clear, but it has nothing to do with the remedies proposed for the misfits which may have developed in the course of recent growth.
Both economic and legal phenomena are dealt with, for it is impossible to separate them in a concrete description. Nor is attention confined to the organization of Government in the strict sense. In our modern society great companies or corporations, although technically no more than artificial persons before the law, have yet for practical purposes power often as far reaching as those of a Local Authority or even of a Government Department.
