<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Spencer develops various specific disastrous ramifications of the wholesale substitution of the principle of compulsory cooperation--the statist principle--for the individualist principle of voluntary cooperation. His theme is that "there is in society . . . that beautiful self-adjusting principle which will keep all its elements in equilibrium. . . . The attempt to regulate all the actions of a community by legislation will entail little else but misery and compulsion."</p> <p><strong>Herbert Spencer</strong> joined the staff of the London and Birmingham Railway as an engineer in 1837 and in 1848 took a position as editor of <em>The Economist</em>.</p>
