| Summary |
"The Unpopular Review, Volume II Number 3" by Various is a quarterly publication likely written in the early 20th century. This edition features a collection of essays that delve into various socio-political topics, reflecting the concerns and intellectual debates of its time. The content appears to explore themes such as social justice, economic philosophy, labor movements, and the ethics of investment, offering critical perspectives on issues relevant to the early 1900s. The opening of the publication presents an essay titled "Unsocial Investments" by A.S. Johnson, which critiques the so-called "new social conscience" as a class-based phenomenon. Johnson argues that this conscience tends to side with labor against capital, often ignoring the complexities of individual circumstances and the consequences of demonizing certain property interests. Through a discussion of various examples, including attitudes toward alcohol and slum housing, the essay examines the ethical implications of class-driven judgments and the resulting societal dynamics. This sets the stage for a broader examination of economic and moral responsibilities within the context of labor and societal welfare as the publication unfolds.
