Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive analysis and solution to the problem of poverty's persistence amidst advancing productive power and prosperity. Inspired by economic principles of John Stuart Mill and Adam Smith, the author contends that this enduring poverty is caused by private ownership of land. He argues that this system grants non-producers a claim to a portion of wealth created by producers, thereby reducing their share of the fruits of their labor. This economic injustice, the author posits, undermines the effectiveness of political and social reforms aimed at alleviating poverty, making them ultimately futile. The author's analysis extends beyond economics, delving into the political and spiritual dimensions of the problem, offering a holistic understanding. This profound and influential work has significantly shaped economic thought and inspired movements for social justice. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
