Municipal Ownership And Christian Socialism (1899)

By William H. Muldoon

Book Overview

Municipal Ownership and Christian Socialism is a book written by William H. Muldoon and published in 1899. The book discusses the concept of municipal ownership, which refers to the idea that local governments should own and operate certain public utilities and services, such as water, electricity, and transportation. Muldoon argues that municipal ownership is a key component of Christian socialism, a political and economic philosophy that seeks to apply Christian principles to social and economic issues.The book provides a historical overview of the development of municipal ownership in the United States and Europe, and examines the arguments for and against the concept. Muldoon also explores the relationship between municipal ownership and other social and economic reforms, such as labor rights, income redistribution, and the cooperative movement.Throughout the book, Muldoon emphasizes the Christian values that underpin his support for municipal ownership and Christian socialism. He argues that these values demand a more equitable and just society, and that municipal ownership is a practical means of achieving this goal.Overall, Municipal Ownership and Christian Socialism is a thought-provoking exploration of an important topic in political and economic theory, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of social and economic reform.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
