Wells wrote about the future of socialism in the period between 1901 to 1908. At the time he was a member of and attempting the reform the Fabian Society. In New Worlds for Old, Wells identifies two pillars of generalisation within socialism. First, the notion of private individual rights of the parent and his responsibility for his children are excessively exaggerated in the modern world. Second, the private ownership of property and the rights of owners are also exaggerated in the contemporary world. Wells advocated for the social system based on private ownership and property to be replaced, that is based more on the spirit of service. This system he believes with be more productive and more just. He spends many chapters looking at the objections to socialism, and then sets about analysing the history of socialism.
