Power And Greed: A Short History Of The World
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
With Purposeful Brevity And Intellectual Liveliness Philippe Gigantes Examines The Progress Of Humanity Through The Centuries, And Behind Every Critical Event, In Every Culture And Every Era, He Finds Repeatedly The Same Two Driving Forcesomnivorous Human Greed And The Quenchless Thirst For Power. In An Engaging Journey Through Four Millennia Gigantes Focuses First On The Great Rulemakers Of Historymoses, Plato, Solon, Jesus, The Brahmans, The Buddha, Laotzu, Confucius, And Muhammadwho By The First Century A.D. Had Laid Down Virtually All The Principles That Advance A Fair And Just Society. Gigantes Then Revisits The Sometimes Destructive Deeds And Often Amazing Accomplishments Of Historys Ruthless Rulebreakers. These Grand Acquisitors, As Gigantes Calls Them, Range From The Warring Chieftains Of Tribal Societies To The Robber Barons Of The Nineteenth Century And Superpower Nations Of The Twentieth. With A Kind Of Historical Inevitability, The Actions Of These Dynamic Acquisitors Result In Crusades And Jihads, In Revolutions And Long, Bloody Military Conflicts, In Two World Wars And Catastrophic Terrorist Attacks. Defying Historical Orthodoxy, Gigantes Argues That We Humans Have Continually Failed To Benefit From The Lessons Of Our Own History. And We Continue To Invest Power In Politically And Economically Greedy Acquisitors. In The Reasons Why, Gigantes Hopes We Cannot Only Gain Further Insight Into What Lies Behind Todays News Headlines But Also Realize The Means To A More Civilized Future.
