Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

Written in the wake of the waves of economic and social upheaval in the post Civil War period, this 1898 work, a lost classic of American Socialism, is a cry for a nationwide plan to even out the bumpy ride America had been on, and that-the author predicted accurately-it would see again. Here, LAURENCE GRONLUND (1846-1899), American lawyer, writer, and worker for the Socialist Labor Party, explains why "industrial democracy," "a most noble ideal," is "inevitable," and explores its many potential facets, some of which will sound familiar to readers today: . state aids to employed labor . state help to unemployed labor . municipal enterprises under state control . socialization of mines and liquor traffic . a national telegraph . national banks . national controls of fares and freight rates . and more.

Mark Twain once famously said "there was but one solitary thing about the past worth remembering, and that was the fact that it is past and can't be restored." Well, over recent years, The British Library, working with Microsoft has embarked on an ambitious programme to digitise its collection of 19th century books. There are now 65,000 titles available (that's an incredible 25 million pages) of material ranging from works by famous names such as Dickens, Trollope and Hardy as well as many forgotten literary gems , all of which can now be printed on demand and purchased right here on Amazon. Further information on The British Library and its digitisation programme can be found on The British Library website.

( About the Book The period termed Modern history, is con...)
About the Book The period termed Modern history, is considered the historiographical time frame that follows post-classical history. The Modern history era can be further broken down into periods: 1) The "early modern" period began around the early 16th century, a period that included the Renaissance, the Age of Discovery, and the Protestant Reformation. 2) The "late modern" period began around the mid-18th century; with notable milestones being the American Revolution, the French Revolution, the Industrial Revolution, and the Russian Revolution. Also in this Book History texts study and interpret the past as it may be understood from written documents. The period before written records is called prehistory. Historians use a narrative to examine and analyse past events, and attempt to objectively determine the patterns of cause and effect. Historical studies are not an end in themselves, but also a way of providing perspective on events taking place in the present. About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades. While these books may have occasional imperfections, we consider that only hand checking of every page ensures readable content without poor picture quality, blurred or missing text etc. That's why we: • republish only hand checked books; • that are high quality; • enabling readers to see classic books in original formats; that • are unlikely to have missing or blurred pages.

(A ny one who, like myself, has been watching the intellec...)
A ny one who, like myself, has been watching the intellectual movement among Americans during the last dozen years, must be impressed with the way in which socialism, or nationalism, as it has been lately called, has spread among them. I may say that I know that the present work, in the shape in which it first appeared in 1884, has contributed its share to that effect; it has sown the seeds of socialism in all parts of our country, and there is sufficient evidence to show that some of them have germinated. I suppose this is due to the feature, which is peculiar to The Co-operative Commonwealth, that it gives, as well as can at present be done, the constructive side of socialism, that it attempts to present the new social system in outline. As far back as A ugust, 1880, when I could count all native American socialists on the fingers of one hand, there appeared a remarkable dialogue in the Nineteenth Century, entitled Political Optimism, mwhich occurred the following paragraph :W esee that political systems in all progressive societies tend towards socialistic democracy. We see everywhere that it must come to that. We all of us feel this conviction, or all of us, I suppose, who have reflected on the matter.

Laurence Gronlund was born in Copenhagen in Denmark on July 13, 1846.
Laurence Gronlund was educated in Danish schools. His studies were interrupted by the Danish-German War in which he took part, but later he finished his studies at the University of Copenhagen and received the degree of M. A. there in 1865. He then entered upon the study of law, but in 1867 he emigrated to America.
Laurence Gronlund secured a position in the Milwaukee public schools, teaching German, but continued his law course in his spare time, was admitted to the Chicago bar in 1869, and for a number of years was a practising attorney.
Interested in social questions, he became convinced of the desirability of the Socialist program through reading Pascal’s Pensées.
Extensive further reading resulted in the publication of his first work, The Coming Revolution: Its Principles (1878), which was cast in dialogue form.
Six years later he wrote his most important work, The Cooperative Commonwealth (1884).
The book forecasts the inevitable downfall of the wage system, founded as it is on the exploitation of labor, but the coming revolution is to be a sweeping evolution.
It was the first comprehensive work in English on Socialism, and presented the views of German writers, and especially those of Karl Marx with such modifications as Gronlund felt necessary in order to adapt them to the American environment.
His passionate interest in the cause of Socialism, and the popularity that came with the wide sale of his book, led him into the lecture field, and he traveled to all parts of the country.
For a short time he became editor of a Socialist paper and then took a position in the Department of Labor, but returned to the lecture platform.
In 1887 he published Qa Ira! or Danton 1, the French Revolution, and in the same year wrote two tracts, Insufficiency of Henry George’s Theory and Socialism vs. Tax-Reform; An Answer to Henry George.
In 1888 Laurence Gronlund was elected a member of the executive committee of the Socialist Labor Party.
Our Destiny, the Influence of Nationalism on Morals and Religion, which he published in 1891, develops the thesis that in its effort for the abolition of the wage system and the development of the organic unity of national society Socialism is not only an economic program but religious as well.
At this time Gronlund started a movement for the secret organization of a society to be known as the American Socialist Fraternity, which was to inspire a few students in each college to harmonize their own programs with the great social destiny, and so hurry the advance of Socialism.
His New Economy; A Peaceable Solution of the Social Problem, and his paper Socialising a State, both published in 1898, advocate first gaining control of the political machinery in order to change eventually the governmental machinery.
He joined the staff of the New York Journal in charge of the labor section, but died shortly after assuming his duties there.
