Industrialization went hand in hand with democratic institutions and respect for private property. To the extent working people constituted a unified block of voters, they had to be listened to.
<span>Now, let me ask you a question: What does your question really ask? That is to say, what do you mean by "the major industrial nations of the west"? In what way are they different from the "working people" who live in them? Or, do you think that all John D. Rockefeller did was sit around all day and let money flow into his pocket like honey from a pot? Guys like E.H. Harriman worked very, very hard. So, does your question really make any sense?</span>
Democracy is the rule of "demos" - people. However, it is not the case that all people want the same and that people can agree on what is important. Because of this, it is important that a compromise is reached in which everyone profits a bit : otherwise emocracy could "stall" due to conflicts (which is actually often the case in governments where the ruling party has only slight majority).

Explanation:
The sentence that expresses the conclusion of the argument is, <em>Skinner’s utopian society ought to be rejected</em>.

It also lacks the conditions that make for festivity and fantasy, two significant human traits. The type of society that Skinner proposes would turn people into robots. Skinner’s utopian society ought to be rejected."
