Excerpt from The Social System: A Treatise on the Principle of Exchange I had intended, as I was requested, to make a few observations upon this work, and I have waded through it with the view of doing so but after perusing the third chapter of the last part.

Book Description
Excerpt from Toward a Better Understanding of Social Systems This paper attempts to outline a few improvements I feel we must make in the way we think about and attempt to manage our social systems. Social problems, defined broadly, are the problems of people acting in groups. Social problems occur at many different levels-from the interaction of members of a family or the management of a production line, to the behavior of our national economy or the evolution of our values, our culture and our civilization. Although the problems encountered at each level can be very different, the lack of insight and understanding we have had at all levels has been due in general to the same reasons. So although I here have time to discuss only a few of the myriad of possible social questions, much of what is said I think can be applied equally well to the analysis of most of our many other economic and social problems.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Secret of Progress Buckle1 regarded it as clear that militarism and high intellectual development were not compatible: till recently, many people were prepared to believe that warfare was alien to the interest of civilised peoples and could only occur among half civilised or backward races. But this war has shown that these hopes were vain, and that the last result of civilisation was not to render war impossible, but to give the means of carrying it out on a vastly extended scale. The increase of knowledge and of power over nature, and the sense of the benefits of intercourse and inter-communication have not sufficed to give us any immunity from war.

Book Description
Praised for its conversational tone, personal examples, and helpful pedagogical tools, the Fourth Edition of Explorations in Classical Sociological Theory: Seeing the Social World is organized around the modern ideas of progress, knowledge, and democracy. With this historical thread woven throughout the chapters, the book examines the works and intellectual contributions of major classical theorists, including Marx, Spencer, Durkheim, Weber, Mead, Simmel, Martineau, Gilman, Douglass, Du Bois, Parsons, and the Frankfurt School. Kenneth Allan and new co-author Sarah Daynes focus on the specific views of each theorist, rather than schools of thought, and highlight modernity and postmodernity to help contemporary readers understand how classical sociological theory applies to their lives.
