Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the hidden vices that are fundamental to the success of any productive, wealthy, and influential society. It delves into the historical relationship between morality, power, and society and challenges prevailing orthodoxies around the nature of good and evil, arguing that society's most destructive vices are also the raw material for its most valuable virtues. The author presents a tapestry woven from the very best and worst threads of human behavior, showing how the two extremes are inseparable and lays bare the cultural and philosophical foundations of human nature and the societies we construct. This invigorating and thought-provoking book exposes the tension between the ideal and the real and shows how it is the source of creativity and corruption alike, offering a fresh and profound insight into what makes us human.
