Post Industrialism

By Arthur Joseph Penty

Book Overview

""Post Industrialism"" by Arthur J. Penty is a book that explores the impact of industrialization on society and the shift towards a post-industrial era. Penty argues that the industrial revolution has led to the degradation of traditional values and the erosion of community life. He proposes a return to a more decentralized and localized economy, where production is based on craftsmanship and small-scale industry. Penty also discusses the role of religion and spirituality in the post-industrial era, arguing that a renewed focus on traditional values and beliefs is essential for the well-being of society. Overall, ""Post Industrialism"" presents a thought-provoking critique of the modern industrial system and proposes a vision for a more sustainable and fulfilling future.WE have seen that the Socialist ideal of reconstructing society on some co-operative or communal basis had its origin in the fact that the unrestricted use of machinery was found to be incompatible with a competitive society; that the problems growing out of machine production found a central position in Socialist theory from the days of Owen to Marx, but were lost sight of and forgotten by the Fabians.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
