Originally published in 1933, this volume From Chaos to Control represents the expansion of notes used in the delivery of the Halley Stewart Lectures for 1932–1933. Following on from the economic lecture of the previous year, this title covers "the psychology of popular understanding, of the nature of the public mind in relation to the technical problems discussed by last year's lecturers; a problem of education, of politics."

This book is a re-issue originally published in 1933. The language used and views portrayed are a reflection of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this re-publication.
