Despite it commonly being attributed to this book, it was not until his ''Principles of Biology'' of 1864 that Spencer coined the phrase " Survival Of The Fittest " that he would later apply to economics as well as biology. This was a key tenet of so-called Social Darwinism . The book was published by John Chapman of London . JUDICIAL COMMENTARY In '' Lochner V. New York ,'' Justice Holmes , arguing that the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution did not require state legislation to comply with a particular economic theory, famously wrote: "The Fourteenth Amendment does not enact Mr. Herbert Spencer's Social Statics." As it happened, Holmes was an admirer of the book and had a copy in his library. EXTERNAL LINKS |
