      This is a transcript of Clark’s presentation or lecture sponsored by the Weinstock foundation at the University of California. It presents an interesting glimpse into the changes going on in the mind of Clark. Clark was a long-tenured professor of economics at Columbia, who had been educated in Germany. In most of his earlier works on production and distribution of wealth, his views seemed locked into a sort of ‘Christian Socialism’ tailored by his marginal-utility value theory.Clark, as a self-admitted socialist, is still a proponent of more controls and a greater role for government, resource protection, and a greater share for labor. But he has learned of the need to integrate capitalism and free-markets into his world view. He notes that we must, above all, continue to improve productivity and inventiveness. Without this growth of the economy, he says, continued improvement for society is not possible, and the free markets grow the economy while socialism does not. His hope for the future (after 1914) is to integrate these two views.If you are struggling with some more modern views of ‘distributive justice’ the speech is well worth reading, even if dated.

    SOCIAL JUSTICE

    WITHOUT SOCIALISM

    It is currently reported that the late King Edward once said, We are all Socialists, now: and if the term Socialism meant to-day what His Majesty probably meant by it, many of us could truthfully make a similar statement. Without any doubt, we could do so if we attached to the term the meaning which it had when it was first invented. It came into use in the thirties of the last century, and expressed a certain disappointment over the result of political reform. The bill which gave more men the right to vote did not give them higher wages. The conditions of labor were deplorable before the Reform Bill was passed and they continued to be so for some time afterwards. A merely political change, therefore, was not all that was wanted, and it was necessary to carry democracy into a social sphere in order to improve the condition of the poorer classes. The term Socialism, therefore, was chosen to describe a play of forces that would act in this way on society itself, and was an excellent term for describing this right and just tendency. The name was quickly adopted by those with whose practical plans most of us do not agree; but its original
