Abstract

[.] I grew to manhood before the FirstWorldWar in an England that took stability for granted and regarded order - national and international - both as a self-regulating process of betterment called progress and also as a field for human design directed to the same end. These two not wholly consistent ideas applied in the political-social, the financial-economic, and the scientific-technological fields; all these fields are regarded as benign partners, the first still the most prized. © 2010 Springer-Verlag London Limited.
