The New Society

The author argues that genuine socialization requires the end of income unconnected to work and a full democratization of state, economy, and education. He proposes a comprehensive economic and social restructuring—including limits on inheritance and the transfer of industrial decision-making to broader communal bodies—while rejecting mere mechanical nationalization and cautioning against dictatorial or utopian solutions. The essay examines contemporary political habits, criticizes passive bourgeois democracy, and stresses the need to cultivate civic responsibility, administrative reform, and the abolition of hereditary servitude as steps toward broader human development.
