Communism and the Conscience of the West

1st THUS (Browne and Nolan - 1948). CLEAN in text. No marks. Binding is tight and square. Cover shows some wear with bumped corners No dust jacket. . . . Conscience of the West, Sheen explains the problems with society stemming from socialism and communism, which continue to infect universities and political discourse today. This timeless book exposes communisms defects, its attitude toward the family, the decline of historical liberalism, and the rise of the antireligious spirit that pervades our world. Readers will be impressed as Sheen diagnoses the issues facing our once peaceful cities, with history being put on trial, scrubbed, rewritten, and explained in terms of class hate. While communism destroys human freedom, Sheen illustrates how man is free as a result of two guarantees: one economic and the other spiritual. The economic enables man to call something his own which is outside of himself. The spiritual is the soul, which makes man independent of an earthly tyrant or a political dictator. In short, mans soul is his own on the inside, as his property is his own on the outside.
