Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This compelling book unveils the irrationality ingrained in our social institutions for wealth distribution, a problem that has plagued societies for centuries. These flawed mechanisms have exacerbated social inequality, privileging the wealthy at the expense of the working class, leading to extreme disparities. The author argues that the current system fails to reward merit or contributions to wealth creation. Instead, it perpetuates advantages for the affluent, such as inheritance and monopolistic power, enabling them to accumulate vast fortunes without commensurate effort or sacrifice. As a result, a small elite enjoys a disproportionate share of social income, leaving the majority with meager resources. This book meticulously examines the historical and societal factors that have shaped our distribution system. It challenges the long-held belief that self-interest and competition will naturally lead to equitable outcomes. Instead, it demonstrates how these principles have entrenched class divisions and created a system that favors the wealthy. Ultimately, this book provides profound insights into the systemic nature of wealth inequality and the need for transformative change. It challenges readers to rethink the fundamental principles of distribution and explore alternative models that would foster a fairer and more just society. 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 9781330093559_0
