"The Unsolved Riddle of Social Justice" by Stephen Leacock is an analytical treatise on social justice and economic theory written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the complexities of economic systems and social inequalities, as it examines the tensions between wealth and poverty in industrialized society. Leacock navigates through the historical context of social thought, while investigating the failures of both individualism and socialism in addressing the pressing issues of the time. At the start of the narrative, Leacock introduces a world rife with industrial unrest and the echoes of recent global conflict. Workers are at odds over wages and employment conditions, leading to cycles of strikes and economic turmoil. He paints a vivid picture of the stark contrasts between wealth and poverty, discussing how societal improvements in production and prosperity have not translated into equitable distribution of resources. Leacock suggests that the ongoing economic struggles cry out for a serious reevaluation of social systems, as society grapples with the questions of justice, labor rights, and the potential for revolutionary change—setting the stage for the deeper explorations that unfold in subsequent chapters.
