Notă biografică
Robert Corfe is best known for his authoritative 3-volume work, Social Capitalism in Theory and Practice, which is not only a critique of an irresponsible and failing economic system, but a detailed study of constructive measures for ensuring a stable, free, and prosperous society. Having enjoyed a successful journalistic career since the 1960s, and after many years of practical experience in senior management in business, in politics, and other spheres of public life, he is ideally qualified to have prepared the present study on some major issues which our elected politicians dare not address. These are the problems of casino capitalism and over-population in their many manifestations. For some years the author has distanced himself from any party allegiance in the belief that all parliamentary groups have now "lost the plot," and that the time has arrived for reaching a cross-party consensus on national rather than factional issues.
