The Making of a Good Society: Lowe’s Instrumental Method and the Pursuit of Full Employment

Michael J. Murray

Chapter Chapter 8 in Toward a Good Society in the Twenty-First Century, 2013, pp 169-185 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract I have titled this chapter the “The Malting of a Good Society.” I have paraphrased it from Robert Heilbroner’s now famous PhD dissertation; however the title suggests that a good society is something that is made. It is a process; in fact, it is a continual process—a process by which clearly defined (though modifiable) goals are forged and effort garnered toward their eventual achievement.
