A Critical Examination of Socialism - Mallock, W. H. Originally
published in 1908, for the Conservative Thought society. Probably
the best refutation of the economic, logical, and psychological
errors of socialism and 'equality' ever written. Mallock wrote in
the late 1890s/early 1900s, but has never been bettered. A
thorough, calm, rational demolition job, without a trace of
invective. Contents include: Historical Beginning of Socialism,
Theory of Marx, Root Error of Marxian Theory, Repudiation of Marx,
Proximate Difficulties, Ultimate Difficulty, Individual Motive and
Democracy, Christian Socialism, Just Reward of Labour, Interest and
Abstract Justice, Equality of Opportunity, Keywords: Socialism

back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and
increasingly expensive. Obscure Press are republishing these

William Hurrell Mallock, a prominent British philosopher, wrote
this 1878 English satire based upon the religious liberalism or
scientific optimism of Arnold, Pater, Huxley, Tyndall, Ruskin,
Jowett, and other leading Victorians. Dedicated to Violet Fane',
this Peacockian symposium in novel-form introduces her as Mrs
Sinclair. Other characters admittedly drawn from life are "Dr.
Jenkinson" (Jowett), "Mr. Herbert" (Ruskin), "Mr. Storks" (Huxley)
and "Mr. Stockton" (Tyndal), "Mr. Luke" (Matthew Arnold), "Mr.
Rose" (Walter Pater). An important title in the history of utopian
literature.. Mallock was also known for his books on atheism and
socialism as well.
