What happens when one of the clearest minds of the modern age turns on capitalism? In this brief, bracing essay, Albert Einstein argues that competition distorts democracy, corrodes education, and leaves human life precarious and small. Against it, he proposes something unfashionable: a society organized for cooperation rather than profit.

Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist. He developed the general theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics. Einstein's work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science.

The present book is intended, as far as possible, to give an exact insight into the theory of Relativity to those readers who, from a general scientific and philosophical point of view, are interested in the theory, but who are not conversant with the mathematical apparatus of theoretical physics. The work presumes a standard of education corresponding to that of a university matriculation examination, and, despite the shortness of the book, a fair amount of patience and force of will on t...

Two unabridged addresses summarizing aspects of Einstein's Special and General Theories of Relativity comprise this succinct volume.
