商品簡介
In defense of the "commercial society," Gregg (director of research, Acton Institute) seeks to lay out its moral, economic, and legal foundations and sketch the connections between them. In addition to discussing these foundations--ranging from moral qualities such as trust to legal structures such as the rule of law--he further considers the core challenges that emerge in commercial societies, including "the expansionary tendencies of the political sphere, the demands of various equalizing tendencies, as well as particular developments associated with the advent and spread of democracy."
