The Slavery Of Our Times (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169212817)

The Slavery Of Our Times is a thought-provoking and insightful book by the renowned Russian author, Leo Tolstoy. In this book, Tolstoy delves into the concept of slavery in modern society and how it manifests itself in various forms. He argues that slavery is not just limited to the physical chains that were prevalent in the past but has evolved into a more subtle and insidious form that is no less damaging to human dignity and freedom.Tolstoy examines the various aspects of modern society that perpetuate this slavery, including economic systems, political ideologies, and social norms. He argues that the pursuit of wealth and power has become the driving force behind these systems, leading to the exploitation of the weak and vulnerable.The book is divided into several chapters, each exploring a different aspect of slavery. Tolstoy uses a combination of personal anecdotes, historical examples, and philosophical arguments to make his case. He also provides practical solutions for how individuals can break free from this slavery and live a more fulfilling and meaningful life.Overall, The Slavery Of Our Times is a powerful and insightful book that challenges readers to rethink their assumptions about modern society and the nature of freedom. It is a must-read for anyone interested in social justice, human rights, and the pursuit of a more equitable world.So now with the theory that an economic evolution is progressing, guided by inevitable laws, in consequence of which some people must collect capital, and others must labor all their lives to increase those capitals, preparing themselves meanwhile for the promised communization of the means of production; this theory, causing some people to be yet more cruel to others, also begins (especially among common people not stupefied by science) to evoke certain doubts.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
