The Acquisitive Society

More about the book

If the constitution's medicine should not be its daily sustenance, then daily sustenance cannot serve as medicine. In extraordinary times, it's insufficient to simply follow the usual path; one must understand its destination and seek alternatives if it leads nowhere. This search requires reflection, which often eludes those who consider themselves practical, as they accept things as they are. For a traveler uncertain of their route, the practical choice is not to hastily advance in the wrong direction but to contemplate how to find the right one. Similarly, for a nation at a pivotal historical moment, it is unwise to act as if nothing significant is at stake, assuming it suffices to continue its previous actions with more vigor. Instead, it must evaluate whether its past actions were wise and, if not, make necessary changes. This reflection is crucial for navigating critical junctures effectively. The publisher, Forgotten Books, specializes in reproducing significant historical works, utilizing advanced technology to preserve the original format while addressing imperfections in aged copies. Although some flaws may remain to maintain the historical integrity, most are successfully repaired.
