“The intelligence required for the solving of social problems is not a thing of the mere intellect.”
Henry George (1839–1897) American economist
Source: Social Problems (1883), Ch. 1 : The Increasing Importance of Social Questions
Context: The intelligence required for the solving of social problems is not a thing of the mere intellect. It must be animated with the religious sentiment and warm with sympathy for human suffering. It must stretch out beyond self-interest, whether it be the self-interest of the few or of the many. It must seek justice. For at the bottom of every social problem we will find a social wrong.
