In **Ideas Have Legs**, **Peter Howard** delivers a powerful and influential treatise on the ideological forces that shape the modern world. Originally published in 1945, this work explores the belief that behind every political and social movement lies a fundamental idea that drives human behavior and historical progress. Drawing from his own experiences as a prominent journalist and his involvement with the Moral Re-Armament movement, Howard examines: * **The Power of Ideology:** How abstract thoughts translate into concrete actions that can transform nations. * **Personal Transformation:** The necessity of individual moral change as a prerequisite for societal stability. * **Democracy vs. Totalitarianism:** A critical analysis of the competing worldviews during the mid-20th century and the spiritual vacuum that often leads to conflict. * **Global Responsibility:** The role of the citizen in fostering a world built on integrity and unselfishness. Howard’s writing is both provocative and deeply personal, serving as a call to action for readers to recognize the "legs" behind their own convictions. This first Australian edition captures a pivotal moment in history when the world was searching for a new moral compass following the devastation of war.
