This lengthy political essay by noted Canadian humourist Stephen Leacock was written while he was professor of political economy at McGill University. He argues for a middle ground between capitalism and pure socialism. Listeners in the early 21st century may find this 90-year old essay oddly topical. (Summary by Sean Michael Hogan) (2 hr 23 min)

I just tried chapters 1 and 3, and they worked for me. Maybe there's a glitch in one of the servers.
