The People of the Abyss

CHAPTER XXVII--THE MANAGEMENT
11/29

If they are profitable, continue them by all means, but let it be seen to that the average Englishman shares somewhat in the profits they produce by working at no occupation.
In short, society must be reorganised, and a capable management put at the head.

That the present management is incapable, there can be no discussion.

It has drained the United Kingdom of its life-blood.

It has enfeebled the stay-at-home folk till they are unable longer to struggle in the van of the competing nations.

It has built up a West End and an East End as large as the Kingdom is large, in which one end is riotous and rotten, the other end sickly and underfed.
A vast empire is foundering on the hands of this incapable management.
And by empire is meant the political machinery which holds together the English-speaking people of the world outside of the United States.
