The Work, Wealth and Happiness of Mankind by H. G. Wells is the final work of a trilogy of which the first volumes were "The Outline of History" (1919-1920) and "The Science of Life" (1929). Wells conceived of the three parts of his trilogy as, respectively, "a survey of history, of the science of life, and of existing conditions." Intended as an unprecedented "picture of all mankind to-day" in all its manifold activities, he called it "the least finished work . . . because it is the most novel." He hoped the volumes would play a role in the open conspiracy to establish a progressive world government that he had been promoting since the mid-1920s. The Work, World and Happiness of Mankind is divided into sixteen chapters following an introduction explaining the work's conception. The historical development of human mastery over matter and energy occupies; Chapters 1-3. Chapter 4 is on agriculture. Chapter 5 on clothing and shelter. Chapter 6 describes the distribution of goods. Chapter 7 the organization of work. Chapter 8 offers an original analysis of the psychology of work. Chapters 9 and 10 analyze money, finance, and economic inequality. Chapter 11 is devoted to the social and economic role of women. Chapter 12 depicts government and the military. Chapter 13 discusses the problem of races, rejecting segregation, racism, and eugenics. Chapter 14 discusses sport, art, and entertainment. Chapter 15 analyzes problems of religion, education, and social discipline. Chapter 16 addresses the future prospects of humanity.
