The war has shattered the comfortable belief in automatic progress, Wells argues, and mankind must choose between collapse and a deliberate new order. He sets out the project of a world state, the enlargement of patriotism to embrace all humanity, and a shared bible of civilization, a common story of history and science to be taught to everyone.
A characteristic piece of Wellsian prophecy from 1921, written in the shadow of the League of Nations debate. Download the free EPUB.
