Your pay envelope

"Your Pay Envelope" by John Richard Meader is a detailed exploration of socialism from the perspective of the early 1900s, focusing on whether it truly helps workers. The book kicks off with a personal letter to a man named Mr. Smith, using a friendly tone to break down the socialist ideas spread by public speakers at the time. Meader wants to use facts, not just feelings, to show that talk of worker exploitation is often based on confusion about how money and businesses really work. He thinks workers do face tough times, but he also believes that socialism isn't the answer and plans to explain why socialist solutions just won't work in the real world, dissecting the arguments in the upcoming chapters.
