Ever heard of the Harmsworth Self Educator? THAT is the book I wanted to read in grade 3. Finding out after college about that 8th grade test bothered me so much, i've continued searching and digging up as many answers as I can find, and the best questions too. This book has piqued my curiosity.
"Too late did the socialist movement of the early-
twentieth century divine the coming of the Oligarchy.
Even 'as it was divined, the Oligarchy was there — a fact
established in blood, a stupendous and awful reality.
Nor even then, as the Everhard Manuscript well shows,
was any permanence attributed to the Iron Heel. Its
overthrow was a matter of a few short years, was the
judgment of the revolutionists. It is true, they realized
that the Peasant Revolt was unplanned, and that the
First Revolt was premature ; but they little realized
that the Second Revolt, planned and mature, was
doomed to equal futility and more terrible punishment."
I will look at the authors other work too, thank you.
That is a pretty good book.
The Iron Heel explains why we are seeing the decay in our societies.
The rich eventually consume too much of the profits and it all falls apart.
