To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Webb and The New Statesman and the Guild Socialism of Mr. Cole and The New Age. And first in regard to Collectivism. Its object we may assume to be " the public ownership and administration of all the means of production, distribution, and exchange. " This is Socialism as it was preached before the rise of the Guild Socialists, and it is Socialism as defined in most of the orthodox text-books to-day. Where, then, does Liberalism stand when confronted with this demand ? It has lost much of its e...arlier distrust of the State. It has learned that the State may (nay, that it must) interfere to an increasing degree in the inter-play 9 114 IS LIBERALISM DEAD? of individual relationships. It has shed the crude individualism of the Manchester School and recognizes that effective liberty can be secured only by the restraint of anti-social freedom. Is it, then, prepared to accept the State as the owner and administrator of every industry and to join forces with the Fabians ? No. Liberalism must, indeed, accept the fact that there are certain essential national services which rightly fall within the province of public enterprise, but to all-round Collectivism its opposition is inherent and fundamental.
