Förlagets beskrivning
The Great Thousand Years, " contains two essays. The title essay, written in 1908, and published in England in 1910, is a prophecy of the catastrophic breakdown of civilization, a breakdown foreseen by Dr. Cram when it was generally least foreseen. He prophesied what has since happened by means of his interesting theory of the rhythm of history, a postulate, that so far back as we can measure, civilization's tides ebb and flow in periods of five hundred years. The second paper, "Ten Years After, " discusses certain changes, moral and spiritual, that must be effected if we are to escape - in the author's opinion - a second era of Dark Ages. He writes that the world must be remade upon the basic idea of "Communal life conceived in the human scale." There must be a larger "unity without the surrender of independence and autonomy."
-Review of Reviews and World's Work, Volume 59 [1919]
