The first half of this book is about socionomic method-about how to estimate the human situation. About how to find out where we stand and what we can do about it. And the last half of the book applies that method-the Five Steps-to the problems of personal and family troubles. And sees as the foundation of a world order and so a happy human situation a moral order grounded on the Five Steps and the moralnet. For the moralnet is not only the key to a happy family and personal life. It is the foundation of public morality, and so the foundation of a moral, social, political, and economic world order.
