Read the following
passage and give the answer of questions:
Socialism aims, then, at substituting the motive of social
service for the motive of private profit. It holds that men will do better work
to make the good life, with the leisure and financial competence it requires,
possible for a society which in the long run in themselves, than they will at
present consent to do for a society which compels them to enrich the exploiters
of their labour in order to avoid starvation for themselves . If socialism is
wrong in making this assumption, if the psychology of human beings in such that
they will not work willingly and well for society but only for themselves, the
the whole of the Socialist edifice falls to the ground. For this doctrine is
the foundation uon which it rests. Either men are socially minded in the sense
