"Under the influence of the fall of the Republic, many Poles fell to the order of birds defiling their own nest. They drew exaggerated pictures of the sins committed by their ancestors, and hid their own, bred in slavery, by casting a veil of silence over the merits of the former. They instilled in the soul of the nation an inferiority complex, paralyzing the will to march forward and upward." - from the foreword by Adam Krzyzanowski. A comprehensive work on ambitious plans for economic reform to complement the political constitution. Very good condition, copy uncut.
