Latter-Day Problems is a book written by James Laurence Laughlin and published in 1909. The book is a collection of essays that discuss various social, political, and economic issues that were prevalent in the early 20th century. Laughlin was an American economist, and his essays reflect his concerns about the changing economic landscape of his time.The book is divided into five sections, each of which deals with a different topic. The first section discusses the role of government in regulating economic activity. Laughlin argues that government intervention is necessary to prevent the excesses of capitalism and to ensure a fair distribution of wealth.The second section deals with the problem of poverty and inequality. Laughlin argues that poverty is not simply a result of individual laziness or lack of effort, but rather a systemic issue that requires collective action to address.The third section focuses on the issue of immigration. Laughlin argues that immigration is a double-edged sword, bringing both economic benefits and social challenges. He advocates for a more selective approach to immigration, based on the skills and qualifications of potential immigrants.The fourth section deals with the issue of race and ethnicity. Laughlin argues that racism and prejudice are deeply ingrained in American society and that they must be addressed through education and social reform.The final section of the book deals with the issue of international relations. Laughlin argues that the United States should take a more active role in international affairs and promote peace and cooperation among nations.Overall, Latter-Day Problems is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers a glimpse into the social and economic challenges of the early 20th century. Despite its age, many of the issues discussed in the book remain relevant today, making it a valuable read for anyone interested in the history of American social and economic thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
