The Conflict is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that offers insight into the challenges and complexities of the political landscape.`Led by your sort of young men? I mean young men of your class. Led by young lawyers and merchants and young fellows living on inherited incomes? Don't you see that's impossible, '' cried Selma. ``They are all living off the labor of others. Their whole idea of life is exploiting the masses -- is reaping where they have not sown or reaping not only what they've sown but also what others have sown -- for they couldn't buy luxury and all the so-called refinements of life for themselves and their idle families merely with what they themselves could earn.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
