QR code
"The Next Step: A Plan for Economic World Federation" by Scott Nearing is a socio-economic treatise written in the early 20th century. This work addresses the pressing need for a new economic order in the aftermath of World War I, advocating for a worldwide cooperative framework to replace the competitive structures that have led to chaos and conflict. The central topic revolves around the concept of global economic interdependence and the necessity
for an organization that promotes shared prosperity rather than rivalry. At the start of the book, Nearing paints a grim picture of the post-war economic landscape, characterized by despair, uncertainty, and the failures of both conventional systems and the League of Nations. He emphasizes the urgent need for a system that ensures economic stability by fostering cooperation among nations and groups, rather than competition. Nearing outlines how the war exposed the fragility of the existing order and led to a widespread recognition of the need for constructive change. He argues that a new economic life must be established, focusing on the interconnection between various industries and the importance of a collective approach to global challenges.
