Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a fresh perspective on the nature of morality and how it has evolved. The author traces the historical expansion of the moral sphere from small groups to nation-states. However, they argue that this expansion has stalled, and war persists because nations are isolated moral entities with no shared moral obligations. The author further explores how trade, while essential for society, often operates against the interests of the state and its citizens, especially during wartime when profiteering becomes rampant. Ultimately, this book offers a profound examination of the complex relationship between morality, war, and trade, highlighting the need for a broader moral framework that transcends national boundaries.
