Louis Tracy (1863 - 1928) was a British journalist, and prolific writer of fiction. He used the pseudonymGordon Holmes, which at times was shared with M. P. Shiel, a collaborator from the start of the twentieth century.
Tracy is most proud of is the feeding of three and one-half millions starving Londoners in the winter of 1894.
The Final War Tracy wrote of a conspiracy by the European powers to destroy England and steal her colonies in which America came to England’s aid in trouncing old Europe.
Tracy was capable of a level of chest beating jingoism to which Shiel never sank.
Destutt de Tracy was born in Paris on July 20, 1754 and died in Paris on March 10, 1836.
For Tracy, "Ideology" was a liberal social and economic philosophy which provided the basis for a strong defense of private property, individual liberty, the free market, and constitutional limits to the power of the state (preferably in a republican form modeled on that of the USA).
One of Tracy's key social and economic ideas was that "society is purely and solely a continual series of exchanges" and his broader social theory is based upon working out the implications of this notion of free exchange.
