Book excerpt: New Worlds for Old by H.G. Wells was first published in 1908, and later appeared with the subtitle "A Plain Account of Modern Socialism" was part of a a series of books and pamphlets that H.G. Wells wrote about the future of socialism in the period between 1901 to 1908. At the time he was a member of and attempting the reform the Fabian Society.In New Worlds for Old, Wells identifies two pillars of generalisation within socialism. First, the notion of private individual rights of the parent and his responsibility for his children are excessively exaggerated in the modern world. Second, the private ownership of property and the rights of owners are also exaggerated in the contemporary world.Wells advocated for the social system based on private ownership and property to be replaced, that is based more on the spirit of service. This system he believes with be more productive and more just. He spends many chapters looking at the objections to socialism, and then sets about analysing the history of socialism.This edition contains an introductory biography of H.G. Wells' life and work, as well as a bibliography of his works.

Book excerpt: New Worlds for Old (1908), which appeared in some later editions with the subtitle "A Plain Account of Modern Socialism," was one of several books and pamphlets that H.G. Wells wrote about the socialist future in the period 1901-1908, while he was engaged in an effort to reform the Fabian Society. As a result of Wells's earlier books and articles, he was "bombarded with requests for pieces on socialism." Many of the chapters of New Worlds for Old are reworked versions of these pieces. He told an American publisher that his intended audience was intelligent young people, especially those living in the United States. New Worlds for Old identi es two "Main Generalizations of Socialism" (1) "The ideas of the private individual rights of the parent and of his isolated responsibility for his children are harmfully exaggerated in the contemporary world." (2) "The idea of the private ownership of things and the rights of owners is enormously and mischievously exaggerated in the contemporary world." Wells advocates the replacement of a "social system, based on Private Ownership" with one based on the "spirit of service," arguing that this will be more productive as well as more just. He devotes several chapters to addressing objections to socialism, then analyzes the history of socialism. New Worlds for Old was very successful, and went through many editions; it was reprinted ve times over the next six years and later went through two revisions. Leopold Bloom cites it in the "Night Town" section of James Joyce's Ulysses. The book in uenced an entire generation of British socialists. It was praised by William Archer, John Galsworthy, Ray Lankester, Joseph Conrad, and many others; in a review, Arnold Bennett called it a masterly work.
