Bohatý divadelník Vernon Brooklyn slaví 70. narozeniny. Na oslavě seznámí rodinu s obsahem své poslední vůle. Ještě té noci jsou dva hlavní dědicové, Vernonovi synovci zavražděni a stopy naznačují nemožnou věc, že se zavraždili navzájem. Případem se zabývá vrchní inspektor Wilson a inspektor Blaikie. Případ vyšetřuje i neteř a hospodyně sira Vernona Joan (mladá nevlastní dcera jeho zhýralého bratra) a rodinný přítel, který se s ní chce oženit. A oficiální i amatérské vyšetřování se sbíhá ke stejné osobě.

First published in 1920, Social Theory endeavours to put together the social contents of various experiences of the ordinary man, and to make them, as far as they form one, a coherent and consistent whole. Social theory is not concerned directly with all the actions of individual men, but mainly with their actions taken in concert through some temporary or permanent organized group, and with the actions of such groups as they affect and react upon the individual. It is not primarily concerned with the State but with the whole problem of human association - that is, of associative will and action. This book will be of interest to students of economics, political science and sociology.

Guild Socialism Restated is G D H Cole¿s fullest and most systematic account of his vision of industrial and political reorganization. The introductory chapters of the volume develop the theme of democratic citizenship in relation to industrial society. Cole contends that neither capitalism nor state socialism can adequately meet the fundamental requirements of democracy because neither provides institutions through which active citizenship can be achieved. He insists that the latter can only be realized in the realm of industrial relations. The central chapters of the book develop a view of socialist organization in which citizenship is a vital ingredient in every arena ¿ from that of the workplace to national policymaking.
