The Chief Evils of the Times

by Rev. Heinrich Nagelschmitt

It offers a scathing critique of the social and political conditions of America in the late 19th century. He examines issues such as poverty, corruption, and inequality, and argues that these problems are caused by a lack of moral and ethical values in society. Nagelschmitt calls for a return to traditional Christian values as a way of addressing these issues and promoting a more just and equitable society. The book is particularly notable for its relevance to contemporary social and political issues. Nagelschmitt's critique of the impact of industrialization and urbanization on American society resonates with many of the challenges faced by modern societies. In addition, his call for a greater emphasis on moral values in public life has continued to be a subject of debate and discussion in contemporary politics. Overall, "The Chief Evils of the Times" is an important work of social criticism that offers valuable insights into the social and political issues of its time. It remains a relevant and thought-provoking read for anyone interested in the history of social justice and the role of religion in public life.
