Insight and foresight meet reality

This is a series of subjects mostly political or psychological that based on the past and present are projected into the near future. H. G. takes a subject such as individualism and shows how we moved from societies of the collective to America whose creed for some time has been individual self-sufficiency starting from the pioneer days. Now he argues that it is time to review the benefits o the collective, as we are no longer pioneers. What once was practical may now be considered criminal. However, he lived in a time quite different from our own and it is nigh impossible to predict that we would abolish monopolies and child labor. One of the points made is that we remember people that contributed to society or humanity but we do not remember people that just lived there
