About this book
Horace Curzon Plunkett wrote The Rural Life Problem of the United States. The writer submits a proposition that in the United States, as in other English-speaking communities, the city has been developed to the neglect of the country. The writer's definite proposal to those who accept his conclusions is that a Country Life movement, upon lines which will be laid down, should be initiated by existing associations.
The summary of contents lists two new institutions to be created, the one executive and organising, the other academic, and names the chief practical work as the introduction of agricultural coöperation. The text says a trade combination has three principal objects, the first aiming at improving the internal business methods of the trade itself by eliminating the waste due to competition. The text says the subject must be treated as a new one, and that an Institute is wanted to survey the field.
