'The New World Order' (1940) by H G Wells
In 'The New World Order', Wells presents his vision of a post-World War II world where humanity unites under a single, global government to achieve peace and progress. Written during the turmoil of World War II, the book is both a critique of nationalism and a blueprint for a future world order based on rational governance and shared human values.
Critique of Nationalism: Wells argues that nationalism and the division of the world into competing nation-states are the primary causes of war and conflict. He believes that humanity must transcend these divisions to avoid destruction.
Global Government: Wells envisions a centralized world government that prioritizes the collective good over individual national interests. This government would be based on principles of equality, scientific progress, and social justice.
The Role of Science and Rationality: Wells emphasizes the importance of science and education in creating a rational and efficient global system. He sees science as a unifying force that can solve humanity's problems, from poverty to war, if applied wisely.
Economic and Social Equality: The book advocates for a more equitable distribution of resources, arguing that economic disparity fuels unrest and instability. Wells believes that a global order must address these inequalities to create lasting peace.
Moral and Ethical Transformation: Wells suggests that a new world order requires not just political and economic changes but also a transformation in human values. He calls for a universal sense of responsibility and cooperation, moving away from selfishness and competition.
The New World Order is an idealistic and speculative work, reflecting Wells’ belief in humanity’s potential for progress through unity and reason. While its ideas are ambitious and controversial, the book is a powerful expression of Wells’ hope for a better world amidst the chaos of war. It remains a thought-provoking exploration of global governance and the challenges of creating a peaceful and equitable future.
