Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fundamental challenges of human existence, exploring the complex interplay between individual striving and the constraints of a society struggling to survive and advance. The author, drawing on a deep understanding of history and social science, challenges the prevalent optimistic view of progress, arguing instead that life is a constant struggle against nature's limitations and the competition of our fellow human beings. The book examines the role of capital, its origin and importance in human progress, and the inequalities it creates. The author challenges the common perception of capital as a tool of oppression, arguing that it is essential for any societal advancement. The book also addresses the complexities of social institutions like marriage and the family, highlighting their crucial role in maintaining social order while also contributing to inequalities. The author's insightful analysis of the struggle for existence, the challenges of poverty, and the importance of individual liberty provides a thought-provoking look at the core issues that have shaped societies throughout history, and continue to challenge us today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
