THE WORK, WEALTH AND HAPPINESS OF MANKIND
by
H. G. WELLS
First published by William Heinemann Ltd, London. 1932
• Jan 1998 notes; to the first edition; 2007 - many notes added later, hoping they may prove instructive.
I found this book puzzlingly incomplete but interesting, a good example of the way a good writer can sum up things, in this case changes in his own lifetime. And also summings-up of the past, and the future—his chapter on education spans the past and the future with many generalistions. It was written about 70 years before the start of the 21st century, and so is itself a marker of multiple changes. The index is included here since computer searches may give information on then-current names or places or ideas: Kalergi (referred to as Kalergis), Hatry, Mussolini, Zaharoff, League of Nations. Bear in mind that Wells appears to have been Jew-unaware; though possibly his publishers may have influenced him - Rae West 11 Oct 2022

• This precedes Keynes' 'General Theory..' by about four years (though Keynes's Treatise on Money is referred to) and Russell's Power by about eight years; also precedes Hitler's early victories.
• FULL INDEX
• 32 or so black and white 'plates' listed as 'ILLUSTRATIONS'
• Pages 56-7 of 'Homo sapiens..' say it might have been called 'An Outline of Social and Economic Knowledge'. He talks about his unsuitable collaborators [this also in his autobiography]; says 'in the end I managed to get every section of it "vetted" by authorities of the first rank. It is sound and tested matter.'
• Autobiography 226 says: '.. twenty pages (Chapter II, sections 1-4) .. summarize all that I know about the relations of the human mind to physical reality. Those pages I wrote and rewrote with special care, I got friends to scrutinize them..'
• His 'Open Conspiracy' gets a mention near the end; and the whole book refers to an imaginary Encyclopaedia, exactly (I presume) along the lines of 'World Brain', which doesn't exist but he consider should, a scaled-up-to-modern-size Encyclopedie, a collaborative effort which he sketches out and estimates the cost of keeping updated, presumably emboldened by the success of his 'Outline of History'. This mythical encyclopedia enables him to allow the reader the mental experiment of turning to it to read up detail on e.g. legal systems, or constitutions, or aspects of fashion or sport or industry, etc etc. [2007: Wikipedia perhaps approximates to this...]
• 'The world of economists and so forth ignored it completely - but then it is their practice also to ignore one another completely, to ignore almost everything completely.'
• Wells is good on surprising contrasts caused by progress, at least when they're in his own experience; the existence of power stations and electric power lines, for example, is made to seem appropriately astonishing.
• Wells is good on detail, and skating over it - for example, on numismatics, and roomfuls of coins, and people who like him decide to not carefully look at the serried ranks of heads (my phrase); similarly, detail of some processes - we assume it, and pass on.
• Also good descriptions of some processes; e.g. extension of electricity, steam transport, steel, and a few other industries, presumably where collaborators or encyclopedias had managed to get some sort of overview together.
• Interesting and abundant material on 'personas', a term he says he takes from Jung; he describes the 'peasant' type, the 'nomadic' type, and the clerical or official type, characterised by (something like) toil and acquisition of land, swaggering greed and contempt for work, and subordination to general good. Well-written long descriptions. Other and later 'personas' include that of the entertainer [hungry for praise] and the Clever Alec (not Smart Alec, I think - though there is Smart, Alec in the index!) [selfish, careless of the general good, disruptive and dangerous].
• Interesting chapter on money and finance, including a discussion on gold & 19th/20th C discoveries of huge deposits; and bimetallism, where e.g. gold and silver circulate together; and which goes some way to predicting things like e.g. credit cards and decline of gold standard, but doesn't successfully establish the ultimate links between paper money and property titles and the need for legal enforcement, either by states or by international (or other) authorities. Similarly, tends to assume tariffs are a bad thing and free trade good, without ultimate examination of these things.
• Good section on Parliaments, with amusing description of obsoleteness of Westminster procedures, and including interesting points on the development of the idea of representative government, e.g. [I think] Mill's original proposal of one country as a huge constituency, and that insistence on candidates having to belong to parties inevitably leads to slowness in action, as no doubt it's intended to; and it may cause relapse into dictatorship as a relief.
• Continual anti-monarchical material, making fun of all monarchs over the last 'two hundred years'; but somewhat pro-aristocrat and pro-religion, where they fit in with his idea of adding to knowledge and ideas.
• Good summary biographies of sample people famed for their wealth: Hetty Green, the Landgrave of Hesse-Cassel, Rothschilds, Vanderbilt & Gould, J D Rockefeller, Edison, Ford, Loewenstein. [And Zaharoff, elsewhere; and J P Morgan in an appendix].
• Good description of universities, first as purveyors of supposedly finished knowledge, then their decline and adoption of things like sports, then revival just in time to dominate mass education, and other inevitable tendency to follow, and never to lead.
• Wells states as a fact that horse races were held at stonehenge.
• Malinowski as rather naive Polish nationalist [cp Russell on Malinowski].
• Food adulteration of citric acid by another acid, and that in turn by phosphoric acid (with picture of lemon on bottle). Made from bones. Is this anti-coca cola agitation?
• [Note: women:] At some point he expresses sorrow at women's attitude to education; he says they tend to look for manners and appearance, but ignore actual content. (He doesn't explain why this isn't surprising).
• Note: who are the most unhappy people in the world? Question answered by Wells with some types of unfortunate women.
• Canada [and Australia, South Africa] and racial exclusion laws.
• Sing Sing is in the index.

INDEX
• 64 ff: Nominalism and realism [again!]
• 88ff: Typical modern materials - Pastes, Enamels, Cements, Cellulose, Milk products, Resins, Animal and Vegetable Oils. Dyes. Rubber. Petroleum. [Plastic or anything beginning poly- is not in index, though bakelite is]
• 110: hydro electric power - the 'revival of water power is extraordinarily recent' (also commercial electrolysis)
• 112: power transmission
• 152: Television not yet possible - Wells describes it as it then was; correctly says the 'whole world will be a meeting place.'
• 154: photo of huge mound of treetrunks for the press - 'ruthless destruction of forests'. Northcliffe said wood pulp is at the roots of the expansion of the modern newspaper. [Hm - what about hemp?]
• 156: '.. nagging attacks on public services... every newspaper has an interest in a shabbily conducted, privately owned transport system which is advertising... quack medicines.. trashy foodstuffs.. no organic links with political issues. ..'
• 157: [sound films then new]
• 158: Postal Union
• 161ff: Fertilizers, inc bones and superphosphate and esp. history of nitrogen fixation, including Crookes on the need for it; followed by nitrogen fixing bacteria. Potassium - Stassfurt discoveries mid-19th century. Wells lists lime as essential. (Phosphorus shortage? Wells quotes Prof Armstrong]
• 166: tractors; the 'oil engine' as opposed to steam.
• 167: eggs year round with electricity
• 172: British Jam and an account of 'substitutions'
• 173: Federal Food and Drugs Act (1906) praised by Wells
• 175: Move to restaurant-style eating - Wells says eating used to be more secretive
• 177: Wells dislikes peasants - tiny parcels of land, primitive methods - obdurate obstacle. An 18th C. Massachusetts very independent farmer's life described from evidence which has survived - most things grown himself.
• 180: Wells spoke with Lenin about peasants in 1920. 1928 Stalin suddenly decided on Five year Plan... 182: Turk-Sib railway 'will be ready in 1930' NB the peasants killing sheep and cattle - p 183 'slaughtered stock rather than surrender it'
Kolkhoz and Sovkhoz - two types of farm. Caucasus supposed to have 40 by 50 mile modern wheat growing area.
185 change in landscape by Joan Beauchamp - BUT net effect isn't worked out
• 199: Wells' account of women and makeup and massage and removal of blemishes...
• 201: Account of housing - slow introduction of electricity, water, sewerage, lighting, bathrooms, gas, laundries erasing 1860s washing day - I think washing machines for clothes were rare at this time.
202 Hotels and inns - '"hotel" was the name of a great private town house'.
203 Town-planning: cities of old civilizations were planned, as often as not, says Wells. Karlsruhe 18th century planned. Christopher Wren tried. Welwyn Garden City, Burnley mill workers cottages '..convenience rather than attractiveness'. Rossington, Yorkshire, 'a modern industrial district'.
207 Steel-frame buildings
opposite 208 photo of steel frame buildings - 'warehouses and shops' - In Oxford Street; other side is modern housing, Frankfort
208 'the economic life of a New York skyscraper is estimated at thirty years'.
• 209: lighting from about 1800 211 gas mantles: surely thorium was risky?
• 215 fires: destroyed Gilbert's apparatus; Volta's at Como; Dantzig, Copenhagen, Petersburg 'did much to diminish the tale of early telescopes'.
• 215: 'I am told by a competent advisor that the Waste Trade, considered altogether, is the fifth greatest industry in England. .. old iron, rusted girders, scrapped machinery and brick rubble, to bottles, bones, rags, worn-out tyres. ..'
• 221 photo showing women at typewriters; must have seemed as advanced as with computers now. Caption: 'It has been found that each installation can cope with the work which previously required five clerks.' [writing by hand?]
• 221-2: 'The Instalment System'
• 227: 'E A Filene tells us that "the average article sold by department or other retail stores to-day costs the consumer two, three, four, often six or eight times its production cost." .. high cost.. is due to waste. .. C N Schmalz (Harvard Bureau of Business Research) [shows] .. that the net earnings of department stores.. varied between 1.1 per cent loss and 1.6 per cent gain. ..' There's a note on credit unions, and secondary middlemen, credit retailers loan-mongers 'and the like parasites.'
• 228: 1,364 co-operative societies in Britain.
• 237: Freemasons, Wells assuming they built medieval cathedrals (over time). Speculates about their secrets.
• 238: 'It was only in the fourteenth century.. that the increasing size of the unit of production released the possibility of antagonism between employee and worker. .. The fifteenth century saw a considerable amount of trouble upon these issues. ..' [Agriculture must have been different]
• 240: Strikes exaggerated! Carr-Saunders estimated the equivalent of one day's holiday per year
• 241: Wells dislikes secretaries of societies - 'can bully and dominate.. close and continuous knowledge .. difficulty of tracing his acts..'
• 242: Employee rights - German attempt to remedy this with statutory works councils.
• 244: profit sharing - Wells not keen
• 244: plate showing Boots Pure Drug Co lab in Nottingham
• 245: Description of waiting around for work and evolution with labour class always in excess. One year contracts problematical as eg in annual fairs.
• 246 Cost of producing a boy for the labour market in Britain (1930) is well over £350. - £100 education, £200 food and clothing, rent and social service certainly £50
• 248 F W Taylor (Frederick Winslow); favourable account by Wells - he examined tools, postures, planning of work spaces, vacant machinery, and so on, and 'seems always to have insisted that the workers concerned should have a substantial share...'. National Institute of Industrial Psychology in London. [NB occurs to me it's a mistake to call it 'psychology' as it deals largely in straightforward physics/ engineering and physiology]
• 252 Lancashire and early evils - 1816 & 1830 & 1840 dates quoted; Acts passed in 1847 and 1850.
254 '.. Every trade seems to have produced its own scourge. [Flax, steel dust, sparks.. p 258 refers to Home Office Industrial Museum in London with displays on deadly objects and wax models of victims and preventive measures] ... potential Jacobin.. very diseases and deformities set the industrial classes apart.. The only possible method of dealing with them seemed to be violence.. evictions, transportation, whippings, treadmills and pillories; capital punishment was inflicted for any felony. To go out on strike was commonly treated as an offence.'
China and Egypt and Bombay then (1930ish) similar
• 260 Slavery as 'owned persons' - unclear whether these are domestic servant types or prostitutes. 'Slave labour is extremely inefficient'. HOWEVER 'peonage or forced labour is in effect the economic consumption of backward and ill-organised races.' and is far more profitable than slavery.
• 261 Putumayo in Peru 1905 to 1912 seem main reports. Including Casement. (670) About six pages. Then the first world war.
• 267-279 Congo rubber; mostly from Morel. Includes population estimates. Includes French exploitation. Wells dislikes Leopold who however kept this up for twenty years.
[NB 1934 was Russell's Freedom and Organisation which has quite a bit on Morel, Rockefeller, Vanderbilt et al, too]
• 282 Wells on the personal touch in shops; paintings, cakes, cigarettes, tailoring, furniture, women's clothes, and book-selling are his choices - perhaps only linked by "golden link", a 'parallel to the function of the imperial crown.'
• 283-288 the co-operative movement - Wells is a southerner; he's told the north feels differently. I had no idea it was such a large movement, incidentally. Perhaps like life insurance companies it's not talked about.
• 288-292 public or private direction of big services - interesting on some big businesses becoming quasi-states; and publicly owned utilities being not subject to forced or panic sales. He quotes the same-sort-of-people-in-each-case idea. Also the argument that large scale concerns inevitably become impersonal.
• 297-339 WHY PEOPLE WORK - fascinating chapter on different types (though the evidence is a bit slender I think). 298 Jung's use of the word 'persona'
PEASANT AND DERIVATIVES.. toil is virtue.. acquisition of property.. continually peasants murder for property. .. The peasant lusts and breeds.. His suppressions make him prone to envy. .. His hostility to exceptional display imposes a standard costume and decorum.. Housing and furniture are standardized.. the costumes and art are practically the same.. industriously made lace, bright buttons, white linen, .. red and black.. tedious repetitive carving.. staid dancing.. plaintive and tragic song.. visibly the same from Biscay and Brittany to China. .. hard monotonies.. subdued pleasures.. he exists because of his good reputation.. good thatching or skilful pruning of the vines.. afraid of his lord, afraid of opinions.. afraid of lawyers. and priests.. Drink releases a fund of suppressed brutality and self-assertion.. never very remote from ancient blood sacrifice. .. the realities must .. appear in the peasant's consciousness of himself in the most pleasing light.. his work and property.. What else could you have? .. sees himself as a good honest fellow, the friend of that friend.. free from affectations and fal-lals, and none can better him at a bargain. .. far too wise to make enemies of the rich and great. A certain humour enables him to swallow and ignore any humiliation.. Derived is the mediocre town-dweller.. transplanted peasant... under the same necessity to reconcile his egoism to a laborious and inferior role. ..
.. the affections and relationships of family ,life have afforded the peasant type .. authority and self-esteem.. master in his own hovel.. feel to beat and compel..
.. The acquisitive and possessive sides of peasant mentality.. The rich townsman, the money-lender and the middleman, the big peasant and farmer of mediaevalism... Nearly all the pioneers of the modern large-scale industries arose in this way... What the Communists call the "petty" and "big" bourgeoisie are in reality only the primordial peasant writ urban or writ large...
.. on its lower face the typical modern proletarian is generally without children.. without "proles"; .. he is unable to sustain and control a family. .. great numbers will be forced down.. in sheer defence of their self-esteem.. deprecate family and property. An element of adventure, defiance and sentimental brotherhood.. All are .. intermittently unemployed and that. gives a chronic uneasiness. .. The Communist.. error seems to me to his exaggeration of the power and sincerity of the proletarian sentiment of brotherhood. .. also he mistakes a craving for change due to uneasiness.. for a creative desire. .. organized labour .. a large part is not and never has been truly propertyless.. A much more fundamental error [of] .. the Communist is his assumption that the types thus far.. acquisitive growing rich and working people growing poor constitute the greater mass.. but they are no more the whole that flesh and blood.. are the whole.. body. .. nerves and brain and endocrinal glands may seem out of proportion less..
TYPICAL NOMAD'S PERSONA .. followed.. schism between Cain and Abel, the cultivator and the herdsman. [I think this is right - surely there must be more mentalities than these two?] .. regional climatic difference between arable and periodic pasture lands. .. his mobility made him more easily as thief,.. a raider// merchant, and at times a cultivator. Cattle was naturally his money of account. .. outside "the great alluvial valleys".. he wandered into ore-bearing districts and became the first metallurgist. The gipsy tinker.. is the last decaying survivor.. founded kingdoms and autocracies.. robust and swaggering persona.. "easy come and easy go".. fiacre, romantic, and personal and not nearly so prolific..
Such have been the... dispositions of kings, aristocrats, soldiers and ruling classes... romantic.. introduces an element of conflict and fluctuation into most personas.. the young peasant in the village cinema.. new notions..
.. It seems perfectly natural to us to see a king with spurs and sword; we should never dream of seeing him with a hammer or a spade. ..
The Communist confuses .. The present solidarity of the rich with the royal and "noble" .. is an apparent solidarity that will probably fail to stand any great social or economic strain. .. aristocratic woman sells herself.. melange of the rich boor and the proud baron..'
THE EDUCATED PERSONA AND ITS DERIVATIVES: '.. priest.. detached from the family idea and obsession with property of the peasant, and .. from the personal assertion .. of the aristocrat. .. generally speaking unreproductive.. outcome of .. training.. Brahmin caste.. shows no distinctive mental superiority.. Originally the priests constituted the entire learned class [did they? Hm??] .. The Egyptian priest was doctor, lawyer, teacher, and financier. .. writers.. poets.. architect and artist.. secretary and minister.. bank, treasury and museum... universities were monastic...
.. .. a fact that is often overlooked in progressive discussion. Liberalism is too apt to denounce "priestcraft" as altogether evil. Yet the progressive .. initiatives of the past have been almost entirely of priestly origin. .. Roger Bacon.. Huss, Wycliffe, Luther, Calvin, Knox were all.. dissentient priests. Mendel.. Even Karl Marx was a university product... [this seems unconvincing to me as most of these were Reformation-related though it's true that the C of E had a sort of monopoly until relatively recently. I don't think he'd read his McCabe or history of science - which seems odd. What about Galileo? Was he a cleric? But possibly he's right.].
Through the scholastic clerical tradition nearly all the intellectual growth of humanity has come. .. the vast peasant-souled majority is small.. The aristocrat gave more, but not so very much more... It was the Church that saved learning throughout the Dark Ages. [This seems untrue - what about the Arabs? Wells was corrected by Joseph McCabe on such points]]
.. persona.. teachers.. writers.. doctors.. judges and lawyers, administrators .. particularly that excellent type the permanent official .. technical experts.. the modern scientific worker. ... characteristics that mark them off .. from.. acquisitive peasant townsman.. or predatory classes.
.. [1] self-abnegation .. to a God or divine overruling idea. .. repudiate "mere commercialism".. more or less honest and trustworthy.. never been blindly obedient and disciplined. .. has been the preserver and transmitter of education.. always been aware of the overriding idea, the Truth... [Adam Smith?---] .. innovative spirits of the closing eighteenth century pitted the.. new industrial and financial bourgeoisie against aristocracy, and so created Liberalism. .. the socialist thinkers of the following decades .. proletariat.. but the "idea" came from the class that alone breeds ideas. .. [2] seems to be devotion, [3] purpose - not very clear.
• 314 Entrepreneur as boorish savage may be a passing phase
• 315-323 Property - Wells points out there are hardly any entries in the Encyclopaedia Britannica.
• 323 lawyers - unclear to me why this is here
• 325 - 334 'Scientific Property'
• 343 Money
• -346 total world output of gold up to 1927 38 foot cube.
• 350ish - inflation, deflation, devalorization, Roubles, hyperinflation as it's now called, gold standard, 1849, South Africa, and the amount of gold in the world
• - 363-373 currency schemes; mostly historic with bimetallism etc and 'currency crank' comment. I think Wells gets the idea of paper money (or abstract money - just entries).
• - 386-393 investment
• - 393-405 1929-1931 World Depression
• - 405-412 suspension of gold standard by Britain
• 432 Vanderbilt. Wells dislikes Gould for simply making money by wrecking things and share manipulations.
• Rockefeller: Wells isn't anti-Rockefeller, preferring a unified industry to multitudinous scrappy small units presumably supplying unpredictable grades of material - he regards Rockefeller as a rationalizer
• 455-460: Edison's inventions. 'Henry Ford says of him [Edison] that he almost doubled the efficiency of modern industry-that it is due to Edison that America is the most prosperous country in the world. .. he took out 1,500 patents. They astonish as much by their variety as by their importance. Edison made the telephone possible and turned the telegraph into a general means of communication. He invented the .. incandescent lamp.. and.. worked out an entire system for the generation and distribution of current. He himself says: "It was necessary to think out everything: dynamos, regulators, meters, switches, fuses, fixtures, underground conductors and a host of other detailed parts, down to the insulating tape. Everything was new and unique. .. [except] copper wire, and even that was not properly insulated. .. dynamo.. typewriter.. storage battery.. microphone.. phonograph.. kinetograph.. electric cars.. cement.. smelting iron.. paraffin paper.. mimeograph..'
• 460-467 Henry Ford 'one of the most striking witnesses against the money motive'. 463 the Model T in 1909.
• 468-471 Alfred Loewenstein. Died with fall out of an aeroplane (could Robert Maxwell have copied the idea?) Post first world war - speculator on a vast scale., but all he did was find money expensively for investors and enterprises. He had an estate at Melton Mowbray (!). Villa at Biarritz. Palace in Brussels. Private planes. Wells bemoans poor documentation of such careers - 'hardly a scrap of Harmsworthiana or Zaharoffiana or Loewnsteiniana will be forthcoming.'
• 471-472 beyond permitted limits - here we have reports of trials. Jabez Balfour [Liberator Society], Whitaker Wright [London and Globe Company frauds], Hatry crash of 1929. Wells suggests an amnesty.
• 472-480: 'The Contemporary Rich'.
Wells presents both sides (without giving his sources; how does he know?)
Pro-the-rich is partly historical:-
• 487 Prof Soddy's arguments that the poor are manipulated
• 506 Ultra-modern State Capitalism in USSR
• 508-9 description of problems with Ford type tractor factory in Stalingrad - one twelfth of maximum capacity. Wells says the Bolsheviks boldly admit to errors [J B S Haldane said that too re Lysenko].
• 544: Women & the 'upper hand'
• 577 Votes and the incompetence of Parliament; there's a similar passage in 'Phoenix' (p 87 on Spenlow & Jorkins two parties) but I don't think Wells ever wrote a comprehensive analysis of proportional representation comparable with say A P Herbert's of about this time.
• 585 US constitution and Senate, House, President
586-7 corruption and the US civil servant system with bribes and rewards.
588-589 French and German civil servants. Russian Duma in 1914..
590 Terror in Russia 'has lasted thirteen years'.
• 591: [Wells on dismay and monstrous foreboding] - clumsy dealings of inept governments one with another. Considering them as slow progressive adjustments of an ego-centred and recalcitrant animal - the calm of biology returns.. we see how inevitable these evils were..
• 654: Estimates of human population the earth can carry
• 660: contraception, misery, Stopes, Comstock, Sanger 660
• 674: Slavery and French, Italian, Portuguese, Abyssinian delegates in 1930
• 691: Original tennis [= 'real tennis'?] played in the moat of a castle
• 704: [Note: power structure of art/information:] The psychology of the entertainer is described, apparently well; and that of critics, exploiters etc; former want applause [cp Russell, 'Conquest of Happiness'] but aren't generally capable of giving delight; critics tell public what they should like, and latter ration, dilute and mimic the best performers, acting like food adulterators.
• 706-7: 'Mirth is a powerful solvent..' [Cp Orwell, 'every laugh is a revolution' or something like that] [and 151 of 'Homo sapiens']
• 722: 'the world has discovered that the common man ...'
• 726: Articles of association
• 731: Communism as a religion
• 788-9: Prison: derived from contemplative nature of monk's cells?
• 800: 'Smart Alec' from America; Wells means the sociopath type as they're perhaps optimistically labelled - will destroy things by corrupting shares, taking advantage of panics etc etc. Wells hopes such people may be corrected. (Looking around Darwen in Lancashire and contemplating the starting-from-nothing emptiness and instinctive jumpy unintelligent shallowness of kids here I cannot help but wonder.)
