Where it came from
Published in 1911 by Charles H. Kerr, a socialist publisher based in Chicago, this pamphlet preserves the transcript of a public debate held at Chicago's Garrick Theater. The event featured the renowned defense attorney and orator Clarence Darrow engaging in a rigorous intellectual confrontation with Arthur Lewis regarding the merits of Karl Marx's economic theories versus the philosophical and moral framework of Leo Tolstoy.
The publication serves as a primary record of the radical intellectual currents prevalent in early 20th-century American political thought. By juxtaposing the structured collectivism of Marxism against the spiritual anarchism and pacifism of Tolstoyan philosophy, Darrow and Lewis captured the tension between competing ideologies that defined the labor movements and socialist circles of the era. The design is emblematic of the sober, accessible formatting typical of the Kerr press, intended for wide dissemination among working-class activists and radical thinkers.
