"Capitalism developed without rational guidance as economic life became more complex and every man sought to satisfy his own individual interest without group regulation or control. It became a tremendous force for human progress, increasing the productivity of our labor, stimulating the pursuit of knowledge and scientific research, and laying the foundations for the broad human groups which we know as democratic nations. But at the same time, capitalism has included within itself serious inner contradictions and genuine conflicts of class interest." -- From the foreword.
