Excerpt from The Economic Functions of Vice
The oak showers down acorns. Each capable of producing a tree. Three-fourths of them are straightway diverted from their arboreal intent through conversion into food by the provident squirrel and improvident hog.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the overarching insight that vice operates as a tool within society to instinctively cull individuals whose actions and values deviate from the norm. The author presents a theory that vice is not merely a moral failing, but rather an innate mechanism that promotes societal health by punishing its transgressors. Through a deep examination of history and biological principles, this book argues that vice helps maintain social order by eliminating those who do not align with the standards of their environment. The theory presented in this book offers a fresh perspective on the role that vice plays in human societies, which will undoubtedly provoke thought and discussion.
