Summary: "I am profoundly convinced that if we do nothing more than we are now doing to protect our society from this unwholesome, swelling super-giantism and acromegaly in private organizations, our system will run its brief course and defeat itself as the Communists anticipate, the difference being that theirs will perish much sooner because it is already wholly despotic and totalitarian. Ours may be saved if the selfish abuses and excesses are further curbed, restrained and brought under public control, as I confidently expect.." -- from author's introduction.
