About ENVY: A Theory Of Social Behaviour
Product Description This classic study is one of the few books to explore extensively the many facets of envy―“a drive which lies at the core of man’s life as a social being.” Ranging widely over literature, philosophy, psychology, and the social sciences, Professor Schoeck― a distinguished sociologist and anthropologist―elucidates both the constructive and destructive consequences of envy in social life. Perhaps most important, he demonstrates that not only the impetus toward a totalitarian regime but also the egalitarian impulse in democratic societies are alike in being rooted in envy. Review An excellent and extremely valuable book. It is beautifully written and contains startling and enlightening information. --Sir Karl R. Popper
