The Small Community
The Small Community
By Arthur Morgan
In this age of large cities, mass culture, and ever more massive events, people must struggle against an overwhelming crowd of their own creations to maintain human integrity.
In this manual for human survival, Arthur E. Morgan offers a solution: peaceful existence in the small, primary community where, more easily than anywhere else, people can find a way to live well. Ultimately striving to show that the small community is "the lifeblood of civilization," this volume examines the political organization, membership, economics, health, and ethics characteristics of small communities.
Of the factors determining national life, few are receiving so inadequate attention as is the welfare of the community or primary group. The preservation and perfecting of the small community is one of the greatest issues facing our times. This book is a survey of the field, and a guide to working within the small community.
