George P. Garrison,

Fiscal Policies and Political Economy

individualistic does.An aggressive individualism, the leaven of chili- zation, is ineradicably connected with our political nature, to temper it and rationally to restrict it is the purpose of socialism considered as a world ideal&dquo; (i.e., as a sociological view of the world).The author closes his thoughtful work with these striking words.We have been able to present the content of the book but briefly, to give a detailed estimate of the work would lead us beyond the limits of a review.We think it is not saying too much to assert that this work by Ratzenhofer is an epoch-making one in the world's political literature.The name of its author will henceforth be associated with the most illustrious sociologists and political philosophers, though he may at first expect to meet much opposition from the ranks of the scholars in the faculties of the German universities.LUDWIG GUMPLOWICZ.
