The nation becomes an enlarged individual whose special purpose is that of human amelioration, and in whose life every individual should find some particular but essential function.
It surely cannot be seriously claimed that the improvement of the existing economic organization for the sake of contributing to the increase of such genuine individuals is impossible.

If genuine individuality depends upon the pursuit of an exclusive interest, promoted most certainly and completely by a disinterested motive, it must be encouraged by enabling men so far as possible to work from disinterested motives.

Doubtless this is a difficult, but it is not an impossible task.

It cannot be completely achieved until the whole basis of economic competition is changed.

At present men compete chiefly for the purpose of securing the most money to spend or to accumulate.
