Book Description
Excerpt from State Socialism: Pro and Con; Official Documents and Other Authoritative Selections Showing the World-Wide Replacement of Private by Governmental Industry Before and During the War The terms State Socialism and collectivism are em ployed with several meanings. But they are chiefly used to mean the policy of extending the economic functions of the State. When the larger and more important economic functions of a nation are operated by its government that nation has adopted State Social ism. When a nation has consistently and deliberately enacted measures leading in this direction, and when the regime of State Socialism is so near that no radical turning aside is probable, that nation may be said to have adopted a State Socialist policy. Is every economic activity of a government to be viewed as a step in the direction of collectivism or State Socialism? Cer tainly not. Every sovereign government has military and police functions, and these always have an economic aspect. All mili tary departments produce at least some part of the munitions of war. Most of them produce a large part of their military supplies. A government which changes its policy of producing only a small part of these supplies, and undertakes - as the United States is doing today - to produce a somewhat larger part is merely adopting the usual custom of governments. This is certainly not collectivism. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Realizing the century-old dream of a passage to India, the building of the Panama Canal was an engineering feat of colossal dimensions, a construction site filled not only with mud and water but with interpretations, meanings, and social visions. Alexander Missal’s Seaway to the Future unfolds a cultural history of the Panama Canal project, revealed in the texts and images of the era’s policymakers and commentators. Observing its creation, journalists, travel writers, and officials interpreted the Canal and its environs as a perfect society under an efficient, authoritarian management featuring innovations in technology, work, health, and consumption. For their middle-class audience in the United States, the writers depicted a foreign yet familiar place, a showcase for the future—images reinforced in the exhibits of the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition that celebrated the Canal’s completion. Through these depictions, the building of the Panama Canal became a powerful symbol in a broader search for order as Americans looked to the modern age with both anxiety and anticipation. Like most utopian visions, this one aspired to perfection at the price of exclusion. Overlooking the West Indian laborers who built the Canal, its admirers praised the white elite that supervised and administered it. Inspired by the masculine ideal personified by President Theodore Roosevelt, writers depicted the Canal Zone as an emphatically male enterprise and Chief Engineer George W. Goethals as the emblem of a new type of social leader, the engineer-soldier, the benevolent despot. Examining these and other images of the Panama Canal project, Seaway to the Future shows how they reflected popular attitudes toward an evolving modern world and, no less important, helped shape those perceptions.
