Opinions may dif fer in regard to the views presented in this work, as well as in Professor Commons's Dis tribution of Wealth; but there can be no doubt that they both afford an excellent stim ulus to popular thought, and that they are calculated to awaken men to the true impor tance of popular questions of the day, and to help get us out of the ruts into which we are so likely to fall. It is a time when we need vigorous thinking, clear thinking, and a right spirit; and all these are found in the works of Professor Commons.
