Excerpt from The Intellectuals and the Wage Workers: A Study in Educational Psychoanalysis A materialistic life is not a life but a living death. Yet without bread we cannot contemplate spiritual things. Those economic units, in consequence - employers' as sociations, co-operative consumer's societies, farmers' leagues, industrial, occupational, and craft unions grow ever more and more liberally and firmly defined, autonomous, eager, with a sense of a part to play. Will they accentuate the crudities of contemporary class wars? Or will they come more and more to act in uni son, in a spiritual efficiency, to make this the happiest world upon which mankind has yet gazed? One after another artists, educators, and scientists are springing up who are brave enough to assert that they have suggestions to make both to these economic subdivisions and to the great states which enclose them and seek to arbitrate their differences. Therefore it is fitting that such artists, lovers of art, scientists, and teachers, those who aspire to bring the various crafts and professions closer to science and the fine arts - for' the sake of art and science quite as much as for the sake of the crafts and professions - should unite even as these industrial groups have united, or, better yet, should fuse themselves in union with the various ap propriate industrial groups to form associations not for personal aggrandizement but for a richer and more spontaneous and more rational personal expression.
