Abstract
In the course of a ridiculously abbreviated review, in which he studiously but no doubt unsuccessfully attempts to avoid political involvement, the author discusses from the viewpoint of an engineer – that is, a pragmatist accustomed to proceeding by honest and impartial trial and the systematic elimination of error – the present state and trends of British Society and the direction in which he would seek to effect improvement. The topic discussed include: inflation; unemployment; Gross Domestic Product and 'standard of living'; rewards, incentives and their long-term results; investment; crime and punishment; monopolies; education; defence; and the bicameral system of government.
