Excerpt from The Unpopular Review, Vol. 2: July December 1914
The present instance is Of Course not the only instance in human history Of the substitution Of Class criteria Of judgment for social criteria. Such manifestations Of class conscience are doubtless justified in the large economy Of human affairs; an individual must Often claim all in order to gain anything, and the same may be true Of a Class. Besides, the ultimate arbitration Of the claims Of the classes is not a matter for the rational judgment. What is sub ject to rational analysis, however, are the methods Of gaining its ends proposed by the new social conscience. Of these methods one Of wide acceptance is that Of fixing Odium upon certain property interests, with a view to depriving them immediately Of the respect still granted to property interests in general, and ultimately Of the protection Of the laws. It is with the rationality Of what may be called the excommunication and outlawing Of special property interests, that the present paper is con cerned.
