Yesterday's "New Civilization" is Today's Fossil
David Beito at the Liberty & Power Group Blog points to this gem of a quote:
"Assuming that the increase in wealth production and population continue at the present compound rates, it seems likely that in the course of two or three decades, the U.S.S.R. will have become the wealthiest country in the world, and at the same time the community enjoying the greatest aggregate of individual freedom."
From Soviet Communism: A New Civilization, by Sidney Webb and Beatrice Potter Webb, published in 1936.
Hurry, folks, Amazon.com still has copies for sale.
