Phoenix: A Summary of the Inescapable Conditions of World Reorganisation [Phœnix]

Volume produced to War Economy standards.  First edition, first impression. 192pp.  Grey cloth-covered boards, blue titles on spine.  8vo.  Cloth is a little faded, gently rounded on corners and spine ends.  Text block edges dust dulled.  Previous owner's name neatly inked on front free endpaper, hint of aging to pages, else internally neat and clean.  Firmly bound. Written in the aftermath of the second world war, H G Wells, perhaps better known for his science fiction novels, argues that the world needs a global system to prevent war in the future, suggesting the need for a world government and an international system of economic cooperation.
