Summary

"Social Justice Without Socialism" by John Bates Clark is a book analyzing economic ideas and social beliefs during the early 1900s that pushes for changes in the world of business to make life better for workers, but stops short of supporting socialism. It's about finding a balance between letting companies do their thing, giving employees some important rights, and the state stepping in to ensure things are fair. The book suggests changes to fix problems like unfair wages, labor laws, and bad working conditions, while preventing the growth of monopolies. It presents a hopeful vision where cooperation between workers and business owners can lead to a better future for everyone.
