Features: This book is a theoretical work critiquing the evils of the capitalist system written by Sidney Webb, a theorist of the British "Fabian Society," in the 1930s. Through an analysis of numerous social phenomena in capitalist society, such as the poverty of workers, income inequality across different strata, the stark disparity in personal freedom, as well as the moral and social decline, and the destruction caused by war, the author exposes and critiques the evils of the capitalist system. Since the author was a reformist theorist of that era, it was impossible for him to fundamentally reveal the true nature of the evils of the capitalist system.
