About this product

Product Information

This is a social critique in which the author reveals a society debilitated by the extensive use of alibis, and now anxiously searching for durable values. He describes an alibi society as a collective state of mind for finding excuses for equivocation, for taking or not taking action, or finding reasons for failure. He endeavours to explain the use of alibis by examining their sources in widely different areas - education, class, manners, cowardice, intellectuality and the professions. The author traces the history of those ideas in relation to the rise and fall of the industrial spirit and their impact on contemporary thought. The author's previous books include Mergers in Modern Business and The Changing Patterns of Distribution .
