Abstract
IT has been assumed in many discussions that mass-production and commerce on a large scale represent a new mode of life, a form of society, that is conquering the world and must disintegrate older modes of social life and organisation. However true this is, there are limitations, obvious now that production far beyond immediate selling possibilities is causing so much difficulty. It is truer to say that various types of society are trying to graft on to their ancient heritage this new scheme of mass-production.
