Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, an 18th-century critical analysis of social institutions and political philosophies, examines the inherent challenges and obstacles to the betterment of human society. The author's theory, stemming from economic and population issues, argues that unchecked population growth creates a situation where the lower classes of society are perpetually at risk of poverty and misery. He believes that while advancements in knowledge, public health, and technology may ease the burden on society, there will always be limits to humanity's overall progress. The author concludes that policies and institutions aiming to reduce poverty may ultimately be ineffective or even harmful. This book presents a provocative and pessimistic view of society and economics, with the author's main insight being that human progress is perpetually limited by factors that increase the overall suffering of the impoverished majority. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780259808039_0
