About this audiobook
H. G. Wells, one of the 20th Century’s greatest writers—author of The Time Machine, War of the Worlds, The Invisible Man—wrote The Open Conspiracy to express his ideas about how a peaceful and cooperative world community could bring happiness and prosperity to all the inhabitants of the earth. Wars would no longer be fought and hunger would not rear its ugly head. Writing shortly after World War One, he writes of the horrible waste of life and immense suffering that extreme nationalism brought to Europe. He is no fan of Socialism or Communism but neither is he a supporter of unbridled Capitalism.
It is an engrossing and compelling argument for peace and prosperity through nations laying down arms and joining forces to move civilization forward.
Although The Open Conspiracy did not result in the global movement Wells envisioned, it was part of his broader effort to promote progressive social and political ideas. The book has been interpreted as a precursor to discussions about globalism, world governance, and international cooperation, themes that have become even more relevant in the 20th and 21st centuries.
