Published online by Cambridge University Press:  23 October 2020

Extract

Oursituationjars with our ideal. We are caught in a changing world. Economists tell us that we are in a period of transition from one socioeconomic system to another. And the transition is not merely socioeconomic; it is literariosocioeconomico. The period is marked by depletion of natural resources; by the population explosion; by overproduction and underconsumption, in our country at least; by crop limitation, with subsidies for underproduction; by automation; by the displacement of manpower, the rise of cooperative or gang enterprises, and the obsolescence of private or solitary labor; and by unemployment, or the dwindling of opportunities for able men and women to find market-supported jobs.
