Excerpt from Industrial Day-Dreams: Studies in Industrial Ethics and Economics
No one has a deeper sense of the inadequacy of the present book as even a slight contribution to the direct solution of vexed social problems, than has the author. His only hope is that it may have some little indirect influence in stirring up those who have more ability and knowledge than he has, but who perhaps have not devoted much time to the consideration of social questions. The appeal here made is to those whose interests are mainly religious. In many religious circles still there seems to be hardly any idea of the intimate connection existing between religion and the industrial life of society. Much of the prevailing apathy and indifference would vanish at once if it were realized that their circles intersect. Earnest workers in the religious sphere are often so fully occupied that they lack the most elementary knowledge of the true nature of the problems involved, or of the remedies suggested. It is hoped that some such workers will find here an introduction - for this is all it can offer - to the general subject of industrial ethics and economics.
It is urgently necessary that the Christian Church as a whole should address itself to the social problem. It will never be rightly solved apart from Christianity.
