ITEM OVERVIEW
In this 1891 essay, Oscar Wilde exposes the soul-destroying properties of capitalism—properties that, contrary to capitalist myth, undermine and destroy individualism.
"What man has sought for is, indeed, neither pain nor pleasure, but simply Life. Man has sought to live intensely, fully, perfectly. When he can do so without exercising restraint on others, or suffering it ever, and his activities are all pleasurable to him, he will be saner, healthier, more civilised, more himself...The new Individualism, for whose service Socialism, whether it wills it or not, is working, will be perfect harmony."
