The Mind in the Making: The Relation of Intelligence to Social Reform is a book written by James Harvey Robinson. This book explores the relationship between intelligence and social reform, arguing that the key to social progress is not simply a matter of political or economic change, but rather a matter of developing the intellectual abilities of individuals. Robinson argues that the ability to think critically, to reason logically, and to analyze complex problems is essential for creating a better society. He examines the role of education in developing these abilities, and explores the ways in which social structures and institutions can either support or hinder the development of intelligence. The Mind in the Making is a thought-provoking and insightful book that challenges readers to consider the importance of intellectual development in creating a better world.1921.
