No mere pleading for the preservation of all aspects of Capitalist society as it exists is to be found here. There is much keen criticism of certain features of the Capitalist regime. Although published in 1920 it suffers less than the majority of books which appeared about that time from the false optimism that colored most thinking and writing in those days.

书里所反映的绝不仅仅是力主全盘保留现有的资本主义社会体制的问题，而是针对资本主义社会制度的某些弊端，提出了很多激烈的批评。虽然此书出版于1920年，在那个年代里，大多数书籍无论在思想还是在写作中，都受到一种虚假的乐观思潮的很大影响，相比之下，此书所受影响甚少。
