Common-Sense Country by L. S. Bevington
"Common-Sense Country" by L. S. Bevington is a philosophical treatise written in the early 20th century that explores a utopian society governed by the principles of common sense. In this envisioned world, all citizens inherently understand and practice rationality, leading to a well-ordered, harmonious existence devoid of the chaos often found in contemporary societies. The book critiques various societal norms and institutions, advocating for a system where simplicity, practicality, and goodwill prevail.The narrative introduces readers to a country where every aspect of life operates smoothly through an unyielding application of common sense. In this society, jobs are fulfilled according to individual preference and capability, resulting in satisfied citizens who contribute to the welfare of their community without the burden of economic mismanagement or social injustice. The author emphasizes the absence of money, competition, and the state, which, in this utopia, fosters creativity and genuine cooperation among its inhabitants. Bevington illustrates a world of abundance, where true human values thrive, and the bond between individuals leads to shared joys and collective progress, ultimately painting a picture of a desirable, achievable future grounded in rational thinking and altruism.
