Excerpt from Persistent Public Problems: Unemployment, Social and Industrial RighteousnessThis book contains a composite message from earnest, eminent men. They are not dreamers, but practical, busy men of affairs. Men who have made good and whose dominating purpose is to do good.Here are discussed some of those persistent, puzzling, public problems which are more and more claiming the attention of thinking people.Grateful acknowledgment is here made of the generous and cordial cooperation of all whose names appear on these pages as assisting in this work.Every student of social problems and all who labor for social and industrial righteousness are confronted with the gigantic and complicated problem of unemployment, which has been said to lie in a very special sense at the foundation of our progress in civilization.So closely interrelated as to be really a part of the problem of unemployment are some of our most vexing and alarming problems. For illustration we may mention the "wage question, " the problem of the "high cost of living, " &c., Most programs for the remedy of unemployment, usually superficial and temporary in character, omit any consideration of these interrelated problems.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
