Gandhi Rejects The Adam Smith Notion Of Human Nature As Motivated By Self-interest And Brute Needs And Returns Us To Our Spiritual Dimension With Its Impulses For Nonviolence, Justice And Equality. He Exposes The Fallacy Of The Claim That Everyone Can Be Rich And Successful Provided They Work Hard. He Points To The Millions Who Work Themselves To The Bone And Still Remain Hungry.

The Majority Of South Africans, Black And White, Recognize That Apartheid Has No Future. It Has To Be Ended By Our Own Decisive Mass Action In Order To Build Peace And Security.
