Abstract
POST-WAR economic reconstruction is neither possible nor desirable. We reconstructed after the War of 1914-18. The system wobbled in the world economic crisis of 1929 ; it has now crashed in the present War. Its doom is deserved. A system which, of set purpose in the interest of a few, limited the production and distribution of food and other necessities of life urgently needed by the vast majority of men, is incompatible with human welfare. With the old economic system goes its superstructure, the international political system under which we have suffered two world wars in one generation. The old world order is in its death throes.
