Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social Insurance: A Program of Social Reform Program As a picture of the future, this millennium com pares favorably with other forecasts. The fault that I have to find with it is not that it presents an impossible ideal, but that it ignores certain tendencies Which, unless corrected, render its reali zation impossible. The tendencies I refer to may be summed up in two statements. First, there is little or no evidence that wage earners are be coming more provident in their habits. Second, their failure to make provision for the future is a cause serving constantly to recruit the mass of unorganized, unskilled workers whose lack of standards and unregulated competition oppose the progress of wage earners all along the line.
