Seems back then, they were already very aware of what capitalism is capable of and it describes very accurately what has already pretty well come to pass. It's available online as an ebook (free as part of the Gnu project).

Thomas Hardy would agree with you. That concern of his/yours...(His) time was pre-oil energy. I realize blubber-whales lit the street-lights in the past. No one knows what will come and it's hurling toward us very quickly. The best prognosticators do warn to get ready and prepare for not better/but worst. Imagine, not being able pump gas to go to Walmart, McDonald's, flush the commode etc. Yea, the problems come and they will back-whip 'brownies' and dissident whites to grow food, haul their trash, guard their compounds, entertain as clowns their comanions and on.....on...and on. - Art James Wed, 06 Dec 2006 17:32:44 +0100
