Reading The Acquisitive Society | Alexandria
Read The Acquisitive Society by R. H. Tawney. Unmasking capitalism's moral void in Tawney's The Acquisitive Society reveals how our obsession with property rights corrupts social purpose. Rather than maximizing profits, Tawney argues true economic progress requires subordinating individual gain to collective service—a radical notion that challenges modern market gospel but offers a cure for today's inequality and environmental crises.
