Why the World Cannot Agree. A Theory Explaining All Political Disputes

Outstanding American thinker and economist Thomas Sowell explains the reasons for the conflicts that endlessly accompany the development of states and all human society through two "visions" of human nature. The first - "limited", takes into account the imperfection of human communities and their traditions, the second - "unlimited" believes in the perfection of man and the possibility of restructuring society through reason and will. The book shows how these "visions" permeate all debates about equality, freedom, power, and justice, making compromise almost impossible. Sowell relies on historical examples and logic to prove that political disputes are not random disagreements, but an inevitable clash of deep philosophical beliefs. The book will be of interest to everyone who is tired of endless arguments.
