First volume of a series concerned with post-war reconstruction. Most of the book is concerned with history, showing how the world has reached its current situation. The last chapter, “Summary and Conclusion--Regional Eutopias”, makes a distinction between Utopia and Dystopia and briefly develops a eutopia based on regionalism. That chapter and other material is dropped in the 2nd ed. This material is replaced with a section called “Practice,” which has three chapters, “The Renewing of Christendom,” “The Post-Germanic University,” and “From the Old State to the New,” with the last chapter proposing ideas similar to the “Summary” in the 1st ed. See also 1921 Branford. |
