Webb summary

• Human nature (Webb)

  Damage inflicted by capitalism upon the human psyche will be compounded only by violent revolution. Humanity needs to be guided back, gradually to its original, cooperative condition
• State (Webb)

  If harnessed to universal suffrage, the existing state could be used to effect a gradual transition to socialism
• Society (Webb)

  The poverty and inequalities of a capitalist society continue to depress human potential while fostering regressive competition
• Economy (Webb)

  A chaotic capitalist economy will gradually be replaced by one which secures for workers the full fruits of their labour based on a common ownership of the means of production
