Post Industrialism by Arthur J. Penty is a book that explores the impact of industrialization on society and the economy. Penty argues that the industrial revolution has led to the decline of traditional values and the rise of materialism, which has had negative consequences for individuals and communities. He suggests that a return to a more decentralized, artisanal economy would be beneficial for society as a whole. Penty also examines the role of technology in society and argues that it should be used to serve human needs rather than dominate them. Overall, Post Industrialism offers a critique of the modern industrial system and proposes alternative approaches to economic and social organization.WE have seen that the Socialist ideal of reconstructing society on some co-operative or communal basis had its origin in the fact that the unrestricted use of machinery was found to be incompatible with a competitive society; that the problems growing out of machine production found a central position in Socialist theory from the days of Owen to Marx, but were lost sight of and forgotten by the Fabians.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
