Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dynamic Democracy Now that is just the very thing I fear too many of us have been doing ever since the war began. We have been damning men and nations and have not been doing much thinking. I should say there has not been half enough real thinking done. We have overlooked the fundamentals and lost sight of the very things we needed most to know, the things that would have been of the greatest comfort when the days were the darkest, the things that would have been the greatest stimulus to our courage and that would have lead to intelligent action. Carlyle said, A thinking man is the worst enemy the prince of darkness can have, and just now we need thinking men, if ever.
