the laws which govern the reproduction of life. It also deals with
the methods by which the life of each separate individual is
brought to an end, and shows that in an overwhelming majority of

but he taught too much truth for Standard Oil, and is no longer a
professor in the University of Chicago. This book contains some of
the truth that was too revolutionary for Mr. Rockefeller's
institution. It traces the inevitable rise of democracy in
industry, in other words, of a working class movement that will
