What Social Classes Owe To Each Other is a book by William Graham Sumner that explores the relationship between different social classes and the responsibilities they have towards each other. Sumner argues that each individual is responsible for their own success or failure, and that society should not be responsible for providing equal opportunities or outcomes for all. He believes that the wealthy have no obligation to help the poor, and that any attempts to redistribute wealth or provide social welfare programs are misguided. Instead, he advocates for a laissez-faire approach to economics and society, where each individual is free to pursue their own interests without interference from the government or other institutions. The book is a classic work of social and political philosophy, and has been influential in shaping conservative and libertarian thought in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
