Synopsis
Explore how capital, labor, and nature set the limits of any society. This nonfiction examination, drawn from Evolution Ethics: And Other Essays, asks how farms, herds, and even manufacturing can sustain a population. It builds a clear argument about why work alone cannot create food and how resources determine a community’s size.
- Learn how vital capital—the food and wealth needed to keep people alive—shapes the capacity of a polity.
- See the difference between pastoral, agricultural, and manufacturing populations and how each depends on available resources.
- Discover why labor can modify environments but cannot by itself produce the means of sustenance.
- Understand the idea that population growth must align with the production of food-stuffs, a concept tied to early economic thought.
Ideal for readers of science, economics, and social theory who want a historical, rigorously argued perspective on production, resources, and society.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the complex relationship between evolution and ethics, arguing that while the former is a natural process that drives progress, the latter is a set of principles that often opposes it. The author traces the history of ethical thought, from its origins in ancient Greece to its modern manifestations, and explores how it has been shaped by the scientific revolution and the rise of secularism. The book also discusses the implications of evolution for our understanding of human nature and morality, and argues that we need to develop a new ethical framework that is compatible with our scientific understanding of the world. Ultimately, this book offers a challenging and thought-provoking look at one of the most fundamental questions of human existence: how can we live ethical lives in a world that is governed by the laws of nature? This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
